Narrative:

On apr/xa/99 approximately XC00 hours, I was asked by fellow amt abc wvyy air carrier file #ywyw to assist him in inspecting the security of the engine fan cowls per air carrier southwest vzy. I accomplished this task and insured that the engine cowls were latched and secured. I gave abc wvvy my air carrier file number ywyw and I left the area to prepare for dispatch of another aircraft. In the future, I will remind my fellow co-worker to make sure that he enters both file numbers in computer and doublechk that the entry is made, when possible, before leaving the area. I feel a better computer system that would not allow this entry unless 2 file numbers are entered, would help prevent this simple human error from occurring to future amt's.
