General Maintenance Action
Aircraft; Company Policy; Software and Automation
Aircraft X ZZZ to ZZZ1. On the beginning of a three-day pairing; during the walk around; the FO (First Officer) found possible evidence of a bird strike in the #2 Engine. ZZZ Maintenance was called out and inspected the aircraft for a bird strike. The inspection was written up and the logbook was cleared in accordance with the maintenance manual. No damage found and Maintenance said the aircraft was good to go; so we departed for ZZZ1 only eight minutes late and landed uneventfully. Upon our arrival Maintenance put a lock on the aircraft for an incomplete inspection. ZZZ1 Maintenance completed the inspection in the first 30 minutes of our ground time. Maintenance took the aircraft out of service two hours later because they could not get the new Maintenance Software Program to accept the write-up and took the aircraft out of service.
B737-700 Captain reported a 2 hour delay due to the new automated maintenance reporting system having software issues.
