Nicole,
I know nothing of the code of Koha but what you describe for Holds to Pull and Holds Queue is exactly the opposite of our experience. In our shared Koha when we look at “Hold to Pull” we see every blessed hold request that is open. When we go to “Holds Queue” and select a library from that list we see only the open holds that site has to fill.
But again, I can’t point to code to support this.

Subject: Re: [Koha] Holds to Pull
I'm here with Barb and to those of you who replied to her saying to use the Holds Queue, it's my understanding that the Holds Queue is showing you titles that are for pickup at the branch you choose - can someone who knows the code please tell me what branch the Holds Queue is looking at. I wrote a report (http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Holds_to_Pull_at_Branch) to show the holds to pull list based on books owned by the library and it's on the wiki and it's what most people I train are using because the way I understand things is this:
- Holds Queue is all holds (regardless of whether they're checked out or on the shelf) that need to be picked up at the branch
- Holds to Pull should be a list of all items on the shelf at your library that have holds on them that you need to pull to trigger the hold
In addition to helping Barbara, your answer will help me fix the manual to make it clearer for all.

I would first like to say hello to everyone as this is my first post. We are currently training with Nicole and have a go live date set for January 9th.
We are a multi-branch library system and would like to know how other libraries are handling the "holds to pull" report.
