In this context, the WRA (Weapon Replacement Assembly) or SRA (Shop Requisition Assembly) remains in a state of pending fulfillment until the part can be sourced or a resolution is determined. By delivering the information along with the WRA/SRA to the AWP unit, it sets the stage for efficient tracking and management of the parts required to maintain operational readiness.

The other options imply alternative processes that do not align with the standard practice of ensuring accountability and tracking of parts that are not immediately available. For instance, reordering from a different supplier, while a plausible action, is not the immediate step taken in such situations.
