--- Comment #4 from Fiona Borthwick <fiona.borthwick at ptfs-europe.com> ---
This has been raised by one of our customers and I can see it being a big
problem for the larger libraries.

In our customer's case, they have marked certain item types - e.g. Reference as
not for loan in the item type policy. This means that the 'not for loan'
subfield in the item record has not been populated.  It appears that the SQL
for the Holds to Pull report is looking at the not for loan item attribute and
therefore not considering the item type at all.

There are 'Default holds policy by item type' set up to mark these item types
with the value of No Holds Allowed.

The customer is therefore confused as to why the Holds to Pull report should
list these items.  Of course the Reference items will not satisfy the hold so
they can be ignored but in larger libraries they could have a large list.

It seems that perhaps a solution would be to modify the SQL to add a JOIN to
look at the item type policies too.
