Order Policy A with Safety Stock?

Does anyone have any experience using Mapics Order Policy A with Safety Stock?  
This would be for "A" items with erratic demand and long lead times.  How does 
MRP handle the discrete requirements if safety stock is available?  Is a 
planned order created for the discrete requirement even though SS is on-hand?  
We want to minimize inventory because these items represent significant 
dollars, but we need to have some buffer stock on hand to guard against the 
high variation since lead-times are long.

If this isn't feasible, what recommendation would you make regarding the order 
policy code for these types of item?

Thank you,
