Narrative:
While on a road trip oct/sat-sun-mon/04 to ZZZ, ZZZ1, I was instructed to perform a vendor walk on aircraft X. This inspection was with paperwork provided to me by our vendor inspection manager. The paperwork involved is not included as part of our gpm and there were no instructions as to how this inspection was to be performed. I complied with what management had asked me to do and completed the inspection. I recorded the discrepancies I found on the sheets provided and gave it to inspection manager who then handed it off to ZZZ1 whom I'm told xferred them to non routine technician's write-up to be worked by ZZZ1.
