Narrative:
On sep/tue/02, I was informed by my supervisor, that I had on-logged 6 engine parts in the wrong confign. Instead of confign 'G', I logged them in as a modified confign 'F.' up to this time I was told by my supervisor that checking confign was a courtesy. Planning is responsible for the configns and the order of the correct parts and configns. Stg-5 disk was the only remaining part not disassembled, it was confign 'F.' all the replacement parts ordered by planning are confign 'G' parts on-logged to modified NR349.
