Changing ARP Filters in the Buyers Control Center

 

  1. Access the Buyers Control Center. The complete path is Purchase Orders> Purchase Order Entry> Buyers Control Center.
  2. After you specify information in the header portion of the screen, replenishment lines for the buyer code, Activity type, warehouses and vendors (for Procurement), and other specified filter criteria are displayed in the Lines browser.
  3. In the Include section, the checked prioritization categories default the types of orders that are displayed in the Lines browser for the specified ARP. Priority categories are determined by a product’s availability in relation to the Order Point, Line Point, Lead Time, and Safety Allowance levels.
  4. To modify the replenishment lines displayed, select the Change ARP Filters button to access the Change ARP Filters screen.
  5. You can specify the following.
    Spec Ord – Items with existing special orders.
    Backorder – Items that have open backorders.
    Critical – Items where PNA is less than safety stock quantity.
    Neg PNA – Items where PNA is negative. (i.e. if all open purchase orders arrived now, there would still not be enough to fill current needs)
    Replenish – Items where PNA is at or below order point.
    Show Items Above Line Point- 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.
    Rank - filter the display by a specified rank, for stocked and replenished items.
    Sugg Tr – Items that are on a suggested surplus transfer. (for Transfers)
  6. Press OK to redisplay lines in the Buyers Control Center, based on your new settings. Note: If you Recalculate a Line or Recalculate All on the Buyers Control Center screen, the ARP filters are reset back to their defaults. If you change the Adjusted Review Cycle in the detail screen, the recalculation keeps the ARP filters set per the user.
