Deleting eBound Books

NOTE: An A&D Book should NEVER be deleted unless the FFL is surrendering their FFL and they have exported the entirety of the A&D Book, and saves or printed a copy to deliver to ATF per ATF regulations.  If consolidating an A&D Book under an FFL to another A&D book under the same FFL, the user must perform all Dispositions from the one A&D Book to the other to close out all line items on the A&D Book that will no longer be used. The FFL must not delete the A&D Book which will now remain dormant as that would destroy traceability.
