<div class="heading">Offer a property as a whole and also rent parts individually</div>
This page explains how to use room dependencies to offer one unit as a whole and at the same time offer parts individually.
 <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 which allows guests to book more than one room/unit in one booking you are risking overbookings. </div> ==Example 1- Rent the house or 3 apartments == 
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:
*Include Bookings from: House
Leave all other settings at the defaults.  ==Example 2 - Rent the house or two separate apartments or 3 apartments==
==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.
Leave all other settings at the defaults.
==Example 3- Rent the full house, a flat and 3 B&B rooms ==
A lodging rents 3 rooms. These three rooms are rented individually as B&B room or all together as a flat. The flat is also offered as house (the house and the flat are really the same).
*House - ''Requires Availability in'': Room 1, Room 2, Room 3 and "Combination Logic"= All rooms must be available
==Example 4- Rent the full house, 2 apartments or 3 individuals rooms== A holiday house consist of 2 apartments (apartment A and apartment B) which are rented together and individually. Apartment B consists of 3 rooms which are also rented separately.
To set this up you will need 5 6 rooms in SETTINGS -> ROOMS.
*House
*Rooms: set ""Include Bookings from" = House
*Apartment A: Do not set any dependencies
*Apartment B: ''Requires Availability in'': Room 1, Room 2, Room 3 and "Combination Logic"= All rooms must be available
*House: ''Requires Availability in'': Apartment A, Apartment B and "Combination Logic"= All rooms must be available
*Apartment B: ''Requires Availability in'': Room 1, Room 2, Room 3 and "Combination Logic"= All rooms must be available
'*House: ''Note'Requires Availability in'': 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. Apartment A, Apartment B and "Combination Logic"= All rooms must be available
==Example 5- Property can be rented in full, individual rooms and also Dorm beds ==
A Property has 2 Individual rooms and 2 Dorms each with 4 Beds, they want to sell the initial 2 rooms and the dorm beds, and also the Entire property. (They do not want to sell the Dorms as Private Rooms)
1. Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS and create the ‘real’ rooms
 
Entire House
*Quantity of this type = 1
*Booking type = 1 per Booking
*Maximum number of Guests = 12 (Total from all ‘real’ rooms)
Private Room 1 A and 2 B
*Quantity of this type = 1
*Booking type = 1 per Booking
*Booking type = 1 per guest
*Maximum number of Guests = 4
for DORMS ([[Hostel and Retreat Setup|please see the set up instructions for hostels]]). 
Virtual Room 1 and Virtual Room 2
2. Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and set
 
Entire House
*Requires Availability in Private Room 1A, Private Room 2B, Virtual Room 1 & Virtual Room 2
*Combination Logic = All Rooms must be available
*Dependency Level = Include Sub Dependencies
Leave all other settings set to the defaults.
Note: 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.
 
==Example 6 - Property can be rented in full only during a certain period ==
 
 
A holiday house consists of three separately bookable apartments (Apartment1, Apartment2 and Apartment3) and can be rented in full, however during Special holiday periods, you decide to sell only the entire house. (See Example 1 above for details on setup and dependencies)
 
For the 3 apartments and Entire House
 
Go to Settings > Properties > Offers > Offer 4
*Create Offer 4 - Christmas Special
*Set Minimum days
* Show = Only when available
 
 
Create a Rate/Daily price for this period
* Set Offer = 4
 
 
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> Selling rooms at different constellations works fine for the booking page and for channels which allow guests to book only one room/unit at a time. If you are using channels which allow guests to book multiple rooms with one bookings we recommend to offer each room/unit only once to av
 
 
Go to Settings > Properties > Offers > Offer 1
*Show = only when available
 
 
Go to Calendar
For the 3 apartments
*Click in Override row, set = No Checkin/Checkout
*Set Minimum Stay (if not already in your Rate/Daily Price.
 
 
Go to Booking Page > Settings > Booking Page > Page Design > Room Order - Hide unavailable
 
 
This will then remove the Rooms from your Booking page over the Holiday period and only show the 'Entire House'
 
 
Once you are happy this this works for your Booking Page (beds24.com - in the Rate/Daily Price) then you can set to the appropriate Channels, please ensure you test fully the availability/prices being sent to the Channels.
 
 
==Example 7 - Rent the full house or 3 apartments where the apartments are 2 of type A and 1 of type B ==
 
A holiday house consists of three separately bookable apartments (Two of ApartmentA and ApartmentB) and can be rented in full only if all 3 Apartments are available.
To set this up you will need three rooms in SETTINGS -> ROOMS and ApartmentA has a quantity of 2, the House and ApartmentB a quantity of 1:
 
*House

Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and set:
