Doctrine and Covenants D&C 20:83
"And also, if any have been expelled from the church, so that their names may be blotted out of the general church record of names."
Book of Mormon Moroni 6:7
"and if they repented not, and confessed not, their names were blotted out, and they were not numbered among the people of Christ."

Moroni supplies the procedure that produces the erasure — three witnesses, condemnation before the elders, a chance to repent — where the revelation states only the bookkeeping consequence of expulsion; the revelation names the book, 'the general church record of names', which Moroni does not. D&C 20:80 defers the discipline itself to the scriptures.
