SKU Overrides if an override already exists. New overrides cannot be added.
As a SKU Constraint:
On the Service Group Parameters page
In general, if there are conflicting minimum values set, the maximum of the minimum values take priority.
* 
You will be asked to confirm any value entered that is greater than the value of the MEO_OVERRIDE_MAX_QTY global setting.
The ALLOW_NEGATIVE_SAFETY_STOCK global setting controls if this value can be negative. The negative Safety Stock constraints and overrides drive the ROP required to yield ROP - rounded(onOrderMean) of the requested value. However, ROP remains floored at -1 and the Safety Stock is allowed to fall below 0.
