Narrative:

I checked on his progress before the meeting; he said the check was about done and the chip detectors was done. I asked about the log item and he said it was being troubleshot. I assigned mechanic X to aircraft X. The assignment was a check; chip detectors and log item; 'left gen inoperative.' ZZZ1 reviewed the logbook and discovered it. Upon my first day back to work from my days off; I was handed a discipline form and told I was being suspended for 1 day starting the next day. Putting colored tags on rii components when they go through receiving inspection; so the installing mechanic will know this is rii item. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: engine idg was replaced on prior shift. The maintenance turnover to the oncoming shift stated that only the chip detectors needed to be checked; all other work was completed. This reporter was part of the oncoming shift and notified later he had not called out for a required inspection item. The rii for the idg was accomplished at another station. No flight discrepancies as a result of the idg change.
