Narrative:
I performed maintenance on aircraft on the autoplt system. I signed the log page action taken block for the inbound PIREP relating to that system. I inadvertently accomplished work on a lower minimum system without downgrading that system as per gpm policy. I was not lower minimum qualified at that time. It was my intention at that time to have a qualified person with me to accomplish the lower minimum test. During the course of my shift, I may have forgotten to accomplish this task.
