Hello,
I have a problem to solve regarding placing the orders for materials before the material runs out from the stock.
for example in the image below, row 2 shows the demand per week of part x. Row 3 shows the stock inventory after consuming the week's demand plus the shipment received in that week.
I need to place orders each week to keep inventory low but the inventory should not fall below safety stock of 22 pieces.
When I write IF function to calculate the shipment orders, Row 3 shows a circular formula error. So I activate the iterations but then the value in Shipment becomes zero.

Is there any other formula that can be used in Row 4 so that it can give value but does not disappear from there? or how can I get the value of the if function to stay there after all the calculations?
