  5. (Optional) In the Options/Header Values section you can limit the browser display using the following options:
    Replenish - to include Items where PNA is at or below order point in the browser lines below.
    Spec Ord - to include special order suggested purchase order lines in the browser display.
    Items Above Line Point - to see all of the items in this ARP, even if they are not ready to be ordered. Items that are not ready to be ordered will be displayed with a Purchase Quantity of 0, but it can be useful to see all of the items in the ARP, and it allows you to investigate why FACTS is not recommending you purchase an item.
    Backorder – to include items that have open backorders.
    Critical – for items where PNA is less than safety stock quantity.
    Neg PNA –for items where PNA is negative. (i.e. if all open purchase orders arrived now, there would still not be enough to fill current needs)
