Narrative:

Incorrect identify of job priorities on the paperwork package. Routine overnight check at the hangar in ZZZ with 2 audio control panels in flight deck on MEL. The international relief officer audio control panel with a loose push-to-talk switch log page priority 2 on the work report and the additional observer's seat audio control panel push-to-talk switch broken. Log page xxxxxx priority 1 on the work report. We only had 1 audio control panel in stock at ZZZ. I was then informed by my supervisor to fix the additional observer's seat audio control panel due to it being a drop dead MEL; priority 1 log page. I then removed and replaced the additional observer's seat audio control panel as instrumental and removed the MEL from the aircraft and informed maintenance control by phone. Later I was informed that the priority codes had been incorrectly stated on the work control contents report and that the international relief officer audio control panel should have been replaced. Discrepancy was idented in computer maintenance program. When the discrepancy was idented; the ifo; audio control panel was replaced at the gate. Drop dead items for MEL's and inspections; etc; should be indicated on the work contents report; ie; time remaining; days; cycles; hours; etc; or indicated on the tally sheets.
