<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 Single room**Set "Quantity" = XX**Hide the Single room and set from the booking page by setting SELL PRIORITY to "Hide". **Use the quantity of thesecontext help <span style="color:#007bff;“ >{{#far:question-circle}} </span> for further setup instructions.
3) Create a third "virtual" Single room and set the quantity If you are hiding rooms you will need to the maximum number of singles you can theoretically sell, adjust your overbooking protection in this case it is SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS ->SETUP. For instructions please see the quantity of doubles plus context help next to the quantity of singles you have availablesetting.
'''Step 2. Set up your "virtual" room: Singles'''
Setup the *Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS and add a room dependency settings in for each of your rooms*Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS->) PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES as follows: 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
4) Set all Dependency Levels to Ignore Sub Dependencies up the room dependency settings in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES as follows:
5) Set the Virtual Single to be dependent on :*Requires Availability = first the Single and second the Double using the LOGIC SETTING "Sum of all bookings".*Assign Booking = First Available Dependency Room
6) Set the Virtual Single to "Assign Bookings" = First Available Dependency Room
 
7) Hide the Single room from the booking page by setting SELL PRIORITY to "Hide". 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.
'''Note:''' If you add bookings manually, place single room bookings into the Single or Double room as appropriate, not the virtual room.
'''=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
Assign Bookings = First available dependent room
'''=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.
'''<span class="circle" >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} Note:''' </span> Test dependencies carefully. If you are using the channel manager and a channel allows multiple room bookings dependencies please test thoroughly to make sure your set up reflects your rules. If you are opening connecting one physical room more rooms than once to a booking channel you physically have. This causes a risk of are risking overbookings.
