How do you document a rework?

• A. To document a rework in the REC Log, place a dash (-) in the original REC number followed by a sequential number (e.g. 96-001-1, would be the first rework of REC 96-001).
• B. To document a rework, create a new separate entry in a different log.
• C. To document a rework in the REC Log, place a dash (-) after the original REC number but before the subsequent digits.
• D. To document a rework on the maintenance sheet only.

Answer: (C)

When documenting a rework, keep the original REC number intact and add a dash with a sequential suffix to denote the rework. The proper format is to append -1 (or -2, etc.) after the original number, as in 96-001-1 for the first rework of 96-001. This creates a direct link between the rework and its source, preserving the original record for traceability and making subsequent reworks easy to identify (96-001-2, and so on). Other approaches either move the entry to a different log or rely on notes outside the REC Log, which breaks linkage and clarity.
