Excerpts from Katrin Fischer's message of 2017-08-15 12:47:45 +0200:
holds information is stored differently in every ILS and at the moment there exists no generic tool to import holds into Koha. For a migration you could try to map the data you get out of Mandarin to the columns in Koha's reserves table and then use a script or SQL to fill it. It can be useful to place a few different holds in Koha first to see what data is required/set by Koha itself.
Thank you. That makes sense, and I was already thinking of doing something like this. But there aren't a large number of holds, and it might be less time-consuming to enter them manually than to study the database tables and write the script.
