Narrative:
On apr/sat/00 I worked overtime at the terminal after my regular shift. Aircraft arrived with an autothrottle PIREP. I performed maintenance computer display panel tests and deferred autothrottle system and downgraded aircraft lower minimum performance status. In my haste, I neglected to enter discrepancy of lower minimum performance downgrade. I did downgrade in action taken box. Also I think I did not enter this action onto maintenance computer sheet. The aircraft was going to XXX. I called XXX maintenance and asked if they could straighten the logbook.
