Looks like you have a material (assuming Asm 1 Mtl 10) is the same part number as the finished good.

Make the job a rework type, and you can have the circular material reference.

Can you explain how this is done?

When you have a part (call this Part # “ABC”) that needs to have some rework before being put back to stock, you can create a job that MAKES part ABC, but in the Material List, you also reference part ABC… you issue part ABC. This in theory is a circular reference, but because it is in a job, it is allowed… but this would not be allowed in a BOM in the Engineering Workbench.
