Bonjour!
At the National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution we use the following fields.
Object Status Deaccessioned
Published Reference Note deaccession memo and date, destruction memo and date
Current Location Site Other Subsite Deaccessioned SubLevel Destroyed
In the Deaccession & Disposal pull down menu we create a new Deaccession Record with approval dates and fill in the Disposition Method as Destroyed.
This allows us several ways of searching and sorting this type of information.

Subject: Destroyed "Objects"
Hello,
A quick question: When "objects", which have TMS records, need to be destroyed (such as in the case of reproductions of objects created for exhibition purposes), how do you indicate this is TMS?
We are considering indicating "deaccessioned" in Object Status, but I am not sure it is specific enough without further explanation in another field. Does anyone use Object Status "destroyed", or something else?
We do not want to delete the object records themselves.
Thanks
