You can make a room only be available when another room is also available.


Rooms can be linked for the following functions
'''Room Availability:''' This setting is useful if for example this is a suite that is composed of this and an adjoining room or you are offering a more exclusive occupancy (at higher price?) when another room is unoccupied. A booking for this room will block the other room for the duration of the booking.


1. Room availability dependant on another room.
'''Requires Availability in:''' Defines the other second room which has to be available.


2. Include bookings from another room into this room.
'''Combination Logic:''' And logic means both rooms must be available
Or logic means at least one of the rooms must be available.


3. Assign a copy of bookings in this room to another room.
'''Bookings Dependency: ''' Bookings in the selected room will be included in this room for the purpose of calculating the availability of this room.  


4. Rates from a room can be linked with or without a price offset to other rooms.
Alternatively you can use:


5. A room can use the prices from another room instead of it's own.
'''Assign Bookings to:''' By default web bookings for a room will be assigned to the selected room. It can be manually assigned to a different room. If assigned to a different room the booking will be assigned there without further checking availability in the assigned room.  


'''Assign a Copy Booking to:''' A copy of the booking can be placed in another room. This can be used to control availability in dependant and linked rooms.


The setting SUB ACCOUNT >> MANAGE > ACCOUNT >> MANAGE PROPERTY >> "Room Linking" limits the scope of allowed inter property and inter account room linking.


If this setting is PROPERTY ONLY then rooms in other properties will not be visible to be linked too.
'''Example 1'''


If this setting allows linking to properties in other accounts, the rooms will be available for linking with the rights set in SUB ACCOUNT >> MANAGE > ACCOUNT >> MANAGE PROPERTY >> "Make Property Available in Multiple Accounts".
A room can be sold either as a double or a twin. The booking page shows two rooms - double and twin:
 
*Create two rooms in SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES-> ROOMS
 
Got to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and set:
 
*For the double set following  "Requires Availability in": twin
*For the twin set "Requires Availability in": double
 
Leave all other settings set to default.
 
'''Example 2'''
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.
 
To achieve this set following dependencies in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES for the room "package":
*"Requires Availability in": villa only
*"Assign Bookings to" = this room
*"Assign a Copy Booking to" = villa only
 
Leave all other settings set to default.
 
'''Note''': If you are using dependencies please test thoroughly to make sure your set up reflects your rules.
