creating a button that references a record in a report link to create a new record in another app

I would like to add a button to a form that can create a new record in another app based on a report link on the form. 

The report link has a list of items and information about what condition they are in. If the items are not in satisfactory condition, the user makes a grid edit to the report and selects that, then saves and continues. What I would like to do is have a button appear when that happens that will create a new record in the app where the item information is kept so that they can fill out a discrepancy report for the item.
