Company abandoned voucher: it's over! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

upon

'over' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'company abandoned voucher' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'abandoned' is a deletion indicator.
'voucher' becomes 'coupon' (synonyms).
'coupon' with 'co' taken away is 'UPON'.

'it's' is the link.

(Other definitions for upon that I've seen before include "On tope of" , "Straddling" , "Carried - on top" , "Au courant" , "voucher, business stopped" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
