Dear,

In this case, I assume that the system calculating Dynamic Safety stock.

Determine a dynamic level of safety stock basis on minimum, target and maximum stock level.

During every planning run, the system checks whether the available quantity is below the minimum stock level. If this is the case, the system creates an order proposal in order to increase the available quantity to at least the target stock.

The dynamic safety stock is calculated on the basis of the average daily requirements and therefore automatically adjusts itself to change in demand.

Please have a look at :

Dear,

When the item's inventory level falls below a "reorder point" (min),

an order goes to the item supplier for a "reorder quantity" (max).

Basing on the above, Please check the Reorder point and Reorder quantity defined.

I assume that Reorder quantity set to 6, is the reason its procure 6 quantity adding to 5 available quantity.

Meantime please check is there any safety stock declared for the material.
