<div class="heading">Dependencies: Bookings can be assigned to more than one room type </div> ''This page explains how to set up virtual to rooms assign bookings to more than one room type''
You may have two room types and some bookings can be placed in either type if available.
'''=Example 1''' a : A hotel has double rooms which can be sold as twins.=
This example works for any room types where one can be used as the other.
1) Create the Double room and set the quantity of these.'''Set up'''
2) '''Step 1: Create a individual "virtualreal" Twin room and set the quantity to the same as the Double.rooms'''
*Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS and add a room for each of your rooms
*Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > SETUP
**Give each room a name "Double"
**Set "Quantity" = XX
**Set Overbooking Protection =Property
Setup the room dependency settings in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES as follows:
'''Step 2: Create a virtual room (Twin)''' *Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS and add a room for each of your room type*Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > SETUP **Give the room a name "Twin" **Set "Quantity" = same quantity as the Double room (real room)**Set all other settings to the same characteristics as your real room. '''Step 3) For : Setup the room dependency settings in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES as follows: ''' '''Set dependencies for the Real room - Double '''  Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > DEPENDENCIES and set ":*Requires Availability in = leave blank*Combination Logic = Sum of all bookings*Dependency Level = Ignore Sub Dependencies*Assign Bookings to = This Room*Include Bookings from" = Twin '''Set dependencies for the virtual room - Twin''' Twin Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > DEPENDENCIES and set:*Requires Availability in = leave blank*Combination Logic = Sum of all bookings*Dependency Level = Ignore Sub Dependencies*Include bookings from = Double (real room)*Assign Bookings to = This room.
4) For *Optional: If you want to see the bookings in your virtual room you can use the Twin set "Include Bookings from" = Doublesetting. This will mirror the bookings from the "real" rooms into the virtual room. Please note that the unit allocation within the units of the virtual room will not work in this case.
Do not set any "Availability Dependency".
Leave the setting for "Assign Bookings" = This room
'''=Example 2''' a :A hotel has double rooms and single rooms where single guests can be placed in a double room if there are no single rooms available.=
This example works for any room types where one can be used as the other but not the other way round. i.e. as single booking can be placed in a double room but a double booking can not be placed in a single room.
'''Step 1: Create individual "real" rooms'''*Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS and add a room for each of your rooms*Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > SETUP **Create the Double room and set the quantity of these.**Set "Quantity" = XX**Set Overbooking Protection =Property
2) **Create the Single room and set the quantity of these. **Set "Quantity" = XX**Hide the Single room from the booking page by setting SELL PRIORITY to "Hide". **Use the context help <span style="color:#007bff;“ >{{#far:question-circle}} </span> for further setup instructions.
If you are hiding rooms you will need to adjust your overbooking protection in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS ->SETUP. For instructions please see the context help next to the setting.
3) Create a third '''Step 2. Set up your "virtual" Single room and set the quantity to the maximum number of singles you can theoretically sell, in this case it is the quantity of doubles plus the quantity of singles you have available.: Singles'''
*Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS and add a room for each of your rooms
*Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > SETUP
**Create Singles room
**Set "Quantity" = set the quantity to the maximum number of singles you can theoretically sell, in this case it is the quantity of doubles plus the quantity of singles you have available.
**Set Overbooking Protection =Property
Set up the room dependency settings in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES as follows:
'''=Example 3:''' A B&B has only five Twin rooms which can be sold as twin rooms, as singles or as double rooms.=
1) Create a Twin room and set the quantity to five.
'''=Example 4:''' A hotel has three double rooms and one triple room which can also be sold as double room if all other doubles are sold.=
1) Create a Double room and set the quantity to three. Set "Sell Priority" = hide
'''=Example 5''': A villa is set up in two different properties. One offers the villa as accommodation (the room name is villa only) only the other one offers the villa as part of a package (the room name is package). =
As it is the same villa a booking for the "package" will make the "villa only" unavailable and vice versa.
