Narrative:
My company has a procedure that allows me to authority/authorized an aircraft to continue in service after a pilot write-up in aircraft logbook, which corrected itself after cycling a switch or similar circuit breaker. After further review, I discovered this procedure is authority/authorized in non maintenance stations, but was given after push out at a maintenance station. This procedure is rarely used and apparently I was not current with all the details when using this procedure. At the arrival station, I had the local mechanics rechk the generator and finding no further problems.
