Crop safety margin is a way to automatically add a buffer to the number of trays you need to plant for an order. When you create an order, Microgreen Manager will automatically calculate how many trays are needed of each crop to fulfill the order. If a crop has a safety margin defined, it will automatically increase the number of trays needed by that percentage. For example, if you enter 100 trays for an order, and the crop has a safety margin of 10%, Microgreen Manager will increase the number of trays to 110. This is useful if you want to automatically add a buffer to your orders for an extra margin of safety.

When you edit a crop's safety margin, Microgreen Manager will re-calculate the tray counts for all plantings that have not yet been started (Status = "Planned"). “In Progress” and “Completed” plantings will not be affected

To edit a crop’s safety margin, visit that crop’s profile page and click “Options” in the upper right corner. Click “Edit Safety Margin”
