## Discrepancy

ENROUTE, DURING DESCENT, THE CABIN CREW IN THE AFT CABIN NOTIFIED THE FLIGHT CREW OF AN ELECTRICAL SMOKE ODOR.  SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, THE COCKPIT CREW NOTICED THE SAME ODOR.  THE COCKPIT CREW FOLLOWED CHECKLIST PROCEDURES AND THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE RAN BOTH PACKS WITH BLEED SOURCE FORM BOTH ENGINES AND THE APU.  POWERED THE CABIN, GALLEY’S, AND LAVATORIES WITH AC POWER.  CHECKED THE AVIONICS COOLING SYSTEM.  NO FAULTS WERE FOUND.  OK FOR SERVICE.
