If the SalesRep table had a foreign key to another table (say, Employee) that was not included in the publication, inserts or updates to SalesRep would fail to replicate unless the remote database had the foreign key reference removed.

If you use the extraction utility to create the remote databases, the foreign key reference is automatically excluded from the remote database, and this problem is avoided. However, there is no constraint in the database to prevent an invalid value from being inserted into the rep_id column of the SalesRep table, and if this happens the INSERT will fail at the consolidated database. To avoid this problem, you could include the Employee table (or at least its primary key) in the publication.
