<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:

*Apartment1

There are two methods Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and set this up: House

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). To set this up you will need 5 rooms in SETTINGS -> ROOMS. *House *Flat*Room 1*Room 2*Room 3 Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and set: *Rooms: set ""Include Bookings from" = Flat and House*Flat - ''Requires Availability in'': Apartment1 Room 1, Room 2, Room 3 and Apartment2 and Apartment3"Combination Logic"= All rooms must be available*House - ''Assign Bookings toRequires Availability in'': This Room1, 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 6 rooms in SETTINGS -> ROOMS. *House *Apartment A*Apartment B*Room 1*Room 2*Room 3 Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and set:

*''Dependency Level''Rooms: Ignore Sub Dependencies (this is the default) set ""Include Bookings from" = House*Apartment A: Do not set any dependencies

To achieve this Note: If you are using dependencies please test thoroughly to make sure your set following 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 in SETTINGS-)  For the 3 apartments and Entire House Go to Settings > Properties >PROPERTIES-Offers >ROOMSOffer 4*Create Offer 4 ->DEPENDENCIES:Christmas Special *Set Minimum days* Show = Only when available  Create a Rate/Daily price for this period* Set Offer = 4

*''Assign Bookings <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'': All Dependency Roomoffer each room/unit only once to av

Go to Settings > Properties > Offers > Offer 1 *''Combination Logic'': All rooms must be Show = only when available - for all rooms (this is the default) for all rooms

To set this up you will need 5 rooms in SETTINGS ==Example 7 -> ROOMS.Rent the full house or 3 apartments where the apartments are 2 of type A and 1 of type B ==
