What is true when the GOP server is down concerning order scheduling?

When the GOP (Global Order Promising) server is down, it indeed affects the order scheduling process. The correct understanding is that affected orders cannot be rescheduled during the downtime. This occurs because the GOP server plays a critical role in managing and providing availability and scheduling information for orders. Without the server operational, there is no access to the necessary data to accurately determine or update the schedules for orders.

Rescheduling relies on the server’s ability to assess current inventory levels, availability, and any other parameters required to make informed scheduling decisions. Hence, while the server is down, the system lacks the ability to process any orders for rescheduling, effectively halting that aspect of order management.

The other options relate to different aspects of order processing when the server is operational. For instance, although the server is not functioning, it would not be accurate to say that it continues promising orders since order confirmation and scheduling depend entirely on its functioning capabilities. Therefore, it is clear that without access to the GOP server, affected orders indeed cannot be rescheduled until the server comes back online.
