We handled this by creating a "dummy" library called "ON ORDER" then for any material on order we create at least one item record with the owning library of ON ORDER and the correct itemtype & collection code. This way the patron can see it is an order record and place holds if the item type allows.

Dear collective brain,
We are new to Koha and are on version 3.6.
In our first attempt at entering orders in the acquisitions module, it seems as though the titles we ordered, are viewable but not hold-able.
Many of the items we order are very popular titles that are not due to release for months out (6 months to a year) but our patrons want to see we're getting them and want to be able to get onto a hold queue for them.
How do we input orders in the acquisitions module that allow holds to be placed on them?
