Narrative:
Following 'B' check, I was making the inspection entry in the logbook and neglected to enter the item number and air traffic area code. 2 factors contributed: 1) the entry is commonly filled out for inspection by production and we merely sign it, and 2) pressure to get the aircraft to the gate quickly. Additionally, inspection in heavy maintenance doesn't make a great many logbook entries versus line maintenance, which does. Complacency and being distraction are probably the root causes. Situational awareness and concentration on the task at hand will ensure no repetition of the problem.

Title: B767 WAS RELEASED FROM HVY MAINT AND DISPATCHED IN NON COMPLIANCE WITH CORRECT LOGBOOK ENTRIES MISSING.
Narrative: FOLLOWING 'B' CHK, I WAS MAKING THE INSPECTION ENTRY IN THE LOGBOOK AND NEGLECTED TO ENTER THE ITEM NUMBER AND ATA CODE. 2 FACTORS CONTRIBUTED: 1) THE ENTRY IS COMMONLY FILLED OUT FOR INSPECTION BY PRODUCTION AND WE MERELY SIGN IT, AND 2) PRESSURE TO GET THE ACFT TO THE GATE QUICKLY. ADDITIONALLY, INSPECTION IN HVY MAINT DOESN'T MAKE A GREAT MANY LOGBOOK ENTRIES VERSUS LINE MAINT, WHICH DOES. COMPLACENCY AND BEING DISTR ARE PROBABLY THE ROOT CAUSES. SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND CONCENTRATION ON THE TASK AT HAND WILL ENSURE NO REPETITION OF THE PROB.
