    Question

    When I try to use GDC to delet records they are suppressed instead.  Why?

    Answer

    GDC is functioning as designed.  

    If there are related records such as circulation activity, purchase orders, fines/fees, etc., GDC does not delete the record and logs an error. Any blocks that prevent record deletion are logged.  As per the Release Notes for Voyager 9.0: "Records that can not be deleted will be automatically suppressed from OPAC display."

    When using the PREVIEW function in GDC, you will clearly see this:
