If an error is discovered before Time Effective, the Dispatcher must mark Void on his copy and reissue under another number. What must the receiving employees do with their copies?

• A. Destroy their copies
• B. Keep their copies and mark void too
• C. Return copies to dispatcher
• D. Deliberate and choose next step

Answer: (A)

When an error is found before the time it becomes effective, the dispatcher voids his copy and reissues a new instruction under a different number to prevent anyone from following the incorrect one. The receiving employees must destroy their copies so there’s no chance of acting on something that’s no longer valid. Keeping or marking their copy as void on their own would still leave an unusable or confusing document in circulation, and returning it to the dispatcher isn’t part of the expected process since the replacement has already been issued. Destruction ensures only the current, valid instruction is in circulation.
