Narrative:

Checking overnight packages found block for servicing tires not na'ed. Checked write-up -- no write-ups for servicing; or tire pressures within limits. Na'ed block showing no servicing required. When talked to; the individual said that the tires were in fact svced. I showed the individual that you either na or write it up; amt agreed. Voided na later. This was the way FAA had told the station it should be done. On MD80 a check and pre-service paperwork; blocks available for showing which tires are svced. B757 pre-service also has block; but B757 a check does not; therefore; FAA said must have write-up entry.
