Create a new virtual room type with a quantity of individual rooms in SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES-> ROOMS->SETUP
1. '''Virtual room'''
Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->SETUP and set the virtual room to have the same characteristics of your individual rooms. Set:
2. '''Real individual rooms'''
*Do not set any "Availability Dependency". Leave "Assign Bookings" set to "This Room" (the default).
3. '''Prices'''
The individual rooms and the virtual room types can have their own rates and prices or you can set them up for one room and set all the others to use these at SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES->"Use Prices From"
4. '''Bookings''' '''If you manually add a booking you need to do this in the "real" rooms not in the virtual room.'''
It is possible that a booking could be made for the virtual room where there is always an individual room available but not the same one on each night. In this case the booking will remain in the virtual room. It is normally possible to reassign the individual room bookings and then manually assign the virtual room booking to the resulting free space. If you cannot tolerate this situation, you should not be using room types to sell your rooms.
It is also possible to show the virtual room type on your direct booking page and hide the individual rooms if you prefer.

<span class="circle" >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} Note </span> Test dependencies carefully. If you are using dependencies please test thoroughly to make sure your set up reflects your rules. If you are connecting one physical room more than once to a booking channel you are risking overbookings.
