    A circular reference happens when a formula refers back to itself, creating an endless loop. To prevent this, make sure formulas don't indirectly reference themselves.

    Your "Confirmed Purchase Order Delivery" formula is correct. You should check your dependent line items' formulas. What are your "Final Shipment Amount" and "Final Shipping Time Weeks" formulas?

    @seymatas1 and @NugrohoAhmad just to geek out a bit. Not your answer but some trivia..

    A circular reference is caused when a "cycle" is created in Anaplan's calculation engine which uses a directed acyclic graph, or DAG. The "acyclic" meaning no cycles. One of Anaplan's amazing benefits is that the DAG is auto calculated for you, unlike competing planning platforms.

    Anyway, like I said, just some trivia.
