This page explains how to use room dependencies to offer one unit as a whole and at the same time offer parts individually.

1 Example 1

A holiday house consists of three separately bookable apartments (Apartment1, Apartment2 and Apartment3) and can be rented in full. To set this up you will need four rooms in SETTINGS -> ROOMS:

  • House
  • Apartment1
  • Apartment2
  • Apartment3

There are two methods to set this up:

Method 1

Advantage: Manually entered bookings will automatically adjust the inventory of all connected units

Disadvantage: Just changing the inventory does not automatically adjust the inventory in all connected units. This will need to be adjusted manually.

House

  • Requires Availability in: Apartment1 and Apartment2 and Apartment3
  • Assign Bookings to: This Room
  • Dependency Level: Ignore Sub Dependencies (this is the default)
  • Combination Logic: All rooms must be available - for all rooms (this is the default) for all rooms

Apartment 1, Apartment 2, Apartment 3

  • Requires Availability in: House
  • Assign Bookings to: This Room
  • Dependency Level: Ignore Sub Dependencies (this is the default) - for all rooms
  • Combination Logic: Sum of all bookings


Method 2

Advantage: Manually changing the inventory of one room will adjust dependent rooms.

Disadvantage: Manually entered bookings do not change the inventory of dependent rooms automatically. You will need to adjust this manually so all effected rooms have correct availability.

To be available the larger unit needs the smaller unit to be available. To achieve this set following dependencies in SETTINGS -> ROOMS -> SETUP Dependencies:

House

  • Requires Availability in: Apartment1 and Apartment2 and Apartment3
  • Assign Bookings to: All Dependency Room
  • Dependency Level: Ignore Sub Dependencies (this is the default) - for all rooms
  • Combination Logic: All rooms must be available - for all rooms (this is the default) for all rooms

2 Example 2

A holiday house which consists two separate apartments (Apartment1 and Apartment2). Apartment2 can be split up into two separately bookable apartments (Apartment2A and Apartment2B). Also the complete house is for rent. To set this up you will need five rooms in SETTINGS -> ROOMS:

  • House
  • Apartment1
  • Apartment2
  • Apartment2A
  • Apartment2B

To be available the larger unit needs the smaller unit to be available. To achieve this set following dependencies in SETTINGS -> ROOMS -> SETUP Dependencies:

  • House - Requires Availability in: Apartment1 and Apartment 2, Assign Bookings to: All Dependency Rooms Dependency Level': Include Sub Dependencies
  • Apartment 2 - Requires Availability in: Apartment2a and Apartment2b Assign Bookings to: All Dependency Rooms Dependency Level: Ignore Sub Dependencies (this is the default)
  • Combination Logic: All rooms must be available for all rooms (this is the default) for all rooms


Note: If you are using dependencies please test thoroughly to make sure your set up reflects your rules.
