Setting room dependencies allows you to sell one physical room under multiple layouts. Examples are:
*Selling room as two different room types i.e. double and twin.
*Offering a holiday rental as a whole house or rent individual rooms.
*Combining two rooms for example to a suite or rent them individually.
*Having a room type on OTAs like Booking.com or Expedia, and individual listings on other channels.
*Selling a room as both a dorm or a private room.
*Selling a room only if another room is not available.
