The reorder cycle helps aggregate your supply to meet your demand, so if you have 10 required in a week, 20 in two weeks, 30 in three weeks and you run planning it will tell you to buy 10, 20 and 30. If you have a reorder cycle of 1M you will get a suggestion to buy 60 when the requirement for the 10 is.

The safety lead time is an extra buffer in the calculation of when you need the stock. On a purchase line the expected receipt date is the planned receipt date plus the safety lead time (and any warehouse time you have).

Your supplier has a leadtime of 10 days, however sometimes it takes them 11, 8, 13, etc. So you set a safety leadtime of 5 days to ensure the stock arrives prior to your requirement, the downside is the expense of purchasing early and holding stock. Not a setting I ever recommend, if you want it combine it in the leadtime.
