			=Use=
			You can use this method if:

			You have a number of individual rooms connected to individual listings at a channel and want to limit the number of rooms you offer at any one time.

			=How it works=

			Bookings are assigned to the 'real' room (Top-up).
			The virtual room (Double) will control the maximum number of units available in Top-up

			The total number of units/rooms available will show as the lower number and will be 'topped - up' as each new booking is created in the calendar, until the total bookings meet the total inventory.
