Narrative:

At start of shift, change order authority/authorized job cards did not exist in computer or on microfiche. Contacted maintenance for change order authority/authorized paperwork at XC30, was told maintenance would work on it. At XD00 lead mechanic told me, still no paperwork, we are not going to do the change order authority/authorized. At XV00 my co-worker arrived at aircraft with paperwork. Change order authority/authorized kits were ordered by lead mechanic. Co-worker and I went right to work reading the text of the change order authority/authorized job cards and referencing the illustrations but failed to utilize the TOD document at the beginning of the change order authority/authorized paperwork. The text at step 'G' said inspect latches for security but did not mention that item 'G' was a required inspection item. For this reason the change order authority/authorized was completed jul/fri/99, without required inspection item inspection or a completed TOD document. On jul/fri/99, at XY00, a union steward mentioned at briefing that another individual failed to have an inspector perform required inspection item inspection on the same change order authority/authorized but on another aircraft. I immediately coordinated with maintenance to locate my specific aircraft and have an inspector perform the required required inspection item inspection.
