There is no difference
between a Window or Door Header

the Structural Member merely
removes the LOAD Off the Opening

Original comment specifically stated that the NEW Lanai has already been added … that Permit should have required the Report

Suggest that you speak with a
Building Dept Official to Verify IF
another report is warranted

I do not recall that the Licensed Structural Engineer that Certified my Plans was Ever Required to submit anything besides NOA Documentation to simply replace an Existing Window with a New Door within the same Opening
