This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

If you define a line item filter at the Order ID node, the sales representative receive orders details only if the corresponding purchase orders are present in the device. Otherwise, the line items details of the Order Details node are not sent to the device. The remaining node details (Created date, Created time and Status) are sent to the device.

By creating a filter at the line items, you can avoid unnecessary data being sent to the client. This is useful, in particular, if the data is being sent to a handheld, which is limited in its memory capacity.
