[Koha] Koha suppression of records

[Linda Culberson]

All,
We are having a problem with suppression of newly created records in 
Koha and wonder how others are handling the work flow with newly created 
records and items. We have/had some of our frameworks set up where the 
default for the 942 subfield n was 1 so that a record when created would 
be automatically suppressed.  But that record can't be unsuppressed, 
apparently and stay in that framework because when saved, the default 
setting puts it back to 1  - suppressed.  So we were going to then leave 
the default framework  to be unsuppressed, meaning that if a record is 
"finished" it has be be changed to default.  The problem is the the 952 
fields are set according to framework - because we have so many 
different types of materials and collections that adding new items goes 
much faster when you are in the right framework.  But if you change a 
records framework to add items, then you must remember to change it back 
every time to get it unsuppressed again.  So, our system isn't working.

I'm having a hard time convincing the staff this isn't a bug in Koha, 
that it just is the way it works.  So my question is, what does work?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
