writes up

Puts on paper

Writes up is the act of composing a formal or finished account of something.

A journalist writes up an interview, a scientist writes up findings, an employee writes up a report.

In workplace contexts, to write someone up means to file an official complaint or disciplinary notice against them: She got written up for being late three times.
