E9.2 Simple Time Series Question

According to Oracle document 2252184.2 the initial +BA value should be 'quantity on hand - safety stock.' Why would it not be? On an item I'm investigating, my only Past Due bucket has a +BA of 12,000+ more than my On Hand quantity as shown in Supply & Demand. This decreases to 6,000+ in the first non-past due period, but why the discrepancies? Shouldn't my starting inventory for Past Due be the same as for my 1st period and probably close to Supply & Demand? (I've looked at the Cardex for current activity and it's not even close to the discrepancies.)
 
In case it's helpful to anyone, I've determined that the discrepancy between Beginning Available and Quantity On Hand is equal to the quantity In Routing/In Transit. So it's not quite as clear cut as the Oracle document makes it out to be.

It really should be:

initial +BA value = 'quantity on hand - safety stock' + In Transit
