CANCELLED, OBSOLETE, SUPERSEDED & VOID - if any document falls in these category; doesn't mean to be thrown out. Generally documents are for three departments Engineering/Executioner, Auditor & Legal. Engineering/Executioner - Works on Latest or Updated Documents Auditor - Documents & Links Legal - Documents Birth to Closing; with all references.
