Re: "Padding" quantity required

A few hints:
    Yield (needs some studying; depends on the routing; don't forget to
recalculate the yields)
    Shrinkage (MRP only, does not issue more; this does not look like what
you have)

Last but not least: you may want to add the component twice (= as 2 separate
records and not 1) and use a specific sequence nr or operation where used
for all the losses (so you can summarize them to calculate your total loss)
