[[Category:Virtual Rooms Room Linking and Dependencies]] ''This page explains how to use virtual rooms to sell two rooms independently and as a suite at the same time'

__TOC__=Use=You can use this method if: You sell individual rooms and link them together to sell as a suite. <div class="warning">{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} 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.</div> =How it works= Selling rooms individually or as a suite. Bookings are assigned to the 'booked' room and a mirror booking is shown in the dependencies to close  The virtual room requires availability in all of the real rooms.Bookings are assigned to the room/suite and mirrored in the other room/suite closing the availability. =Example 1 : A B&B has 2 rooms (single and double). The rooms can be sold individually or together as a suite.= '''Set up''' '''Step 1. Set up your "real" rooms:'''*Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS and add a room for each of your rooms*Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > SETUP **Create one room double**Set "Quantity" = 1**Create one room single**Set "Quantity" = 1**Use the context help <span style="color:#007bff;“ >{{#far:question-circle}} </span> for further setup instructions. '''Step 2. Set up your "virtual" room: (Suite)''' *Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS and add a room for each of your rooms*Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > SETUP **Create one room Suite**Use the context help <span style="color:#007bff;“ >{{#far:question-circle}} </span> for further setup instructions. '''Step 3. Set up the room dependency settings:'''  Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > DEPENDENCIES and set: Suite:*Requires Availability in = double*Requires Availability in = single*Combination Logic = all rooms must be available*Dependency Level = Ignore Sub Dependencies*Assign Bookings to = This room  Optional: If you want to see the bookings in your virtual room you can use the "Include Bookings from" setting. This will mirror the bookings from the "real" rooms into the virtual room.  Double:*Requires Availability in = nothing selected*Combination Logic = Sum of all bookings*Dependency Level = Ignore Sub Dependencies*Include Bookings from = Suite*Assign Bookings to = This Room Single:*Requires Availability in = nothing selected*Combination Logic = Sum of all bookings*Dependency Level = Ignore Sub Dependencies*Include Bookings from = Suite*Assign Bookings to = This Room =Example 2: A Lodging has 2 identical rooms which are set up as one room type with the quantity of 2. The rooms can be sold individually or together as a suite.= '''Set up''' '''Step 1. Set up your "real" rooms:'''*Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS and add a room for each of your rooms*Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > SETUP **Give each room a "Name"**Set "Quantity" = 2. '''Step 2.

This will mirror the bookings from the "real" rooms into the virtual room. Please note that the unit allocation within the units of the virtual room will not work in this case. =Example 3: A Lodging has a double room and a twin room. The twin room is also sold as king room. The double and the twin room are sold as Suite 1 and the double and the king room are sold as Suite 2= The 2 real rooms and the king room can all be sold separately as well as the 2 suites. '''Step 1.
