Narrative:

A/C X arrived in ZZZ on date at [late evening]. Aircraft had a transit check accomplished on the overnight. Aircraft sat on the ground for 36 hours; and was assigned another transit check on DATE1. On the workcard for the transit check for oil servicing; (1) has osp entry been made in aml since last flight?(a) if 'yes'; proceed to step 2.C.(1). And enter the osp authorization code.(b) if 'no'; proceed to step 2.B. Our answer is 'yes' because it was accomplished the night before. Step 2.C. Record oil information below:notewhen recording oil added; record the partial pint; in 1/8 increments; in decimal equivalent only; i.e. 1/8 = 0.125;1/ 4 = 0.250; 3/8 = 0.375; 1/2 = 0.500; 5/8 = 0.625; 3/4 = 0.750; 7/8 = 0.875. For example; if 1-1/8 pints areadded; record as 1.125.(1) osp and aml entries.record osp authorization code: __________________make sure that the osp authorization code is entered in the aml. Quality control is briefing management and supervisors that amt's are required to transcribe the osp information from previous check to logbook page with current airworthiness release for the current check. This results in multiple airworthiness releases with the same osp information until the aircraft flies next.amt's interpret the statement 'make sure that the osp authorization code is entered in the aml' as verifying that this information has previously been entered in the aml; not continuously transcribing this information multiple times for each assigned check that has been accomplished until the engines have been serviced after the aircrafts next flight.asking for compliance to clarify to amt's; qc and management on the proper way this documentation should be accomplished. Or change the statement to read 'if osp has been previously entered in aml; no further osp entries are required to be entered in the aml.'
