Ask whether the actual additional adapter is available, because promising a shipment does not tell you whether they have made the thing they want to put in it.
2 pointsThey say it needs machining. No completion estimate. The spare line now says outstanding on their summary, so at least the fitted one has stopped multiplying.
6 pointsGet the drawing reference into that machining proposal too, so receiving any roughly similar plate does not become the next argument about whether they fulfilled the order.
8 pointsRequested the confirmed assembly drawing. Purchasing is also asking for a separate dispatch estimate, not a promise to attach it to an unknown future order.
14 pointsI'd price a complete spare locally as an option, with the same drawing, then you can discuss waiting or credit without inventing what replacement would cost.
13 pointsInclude the locating pieces if they belong to that assembly, rather than comparing a finished kit with the price of a bare adapter plate.
14 pointsLocating pieces are included. We have the approved drawing now. Local quote requested against the whole assembly. No credit accepted and no local order placed.
12 pointsAny actual manufacturing estimate from the seller yet, or are they still treating your spare as something to fill an idle afternoon?
17 pointsNo estimate yet. Purchasing owns both options. Maintenance knows the installed adapter is present and the spare isn't; I won't put an imaginary replacement date in the handover.
