<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.
==Example 1==
<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:
*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.
Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and set:
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 RoomApartment1 and Apartment2 and Apartment3
*''Dependency Level'': Ignore Sub Dependencies (this is Leave all other settings at the default) - for all roomsdefaults.
*''Combination Logic'': Sum of all bookings
Apartment 1, Apartment 2, Apartment 3
'''Method 2'''*Include Bookings from: House
Advantage: Manually changing Leave all other settings at the inventory of one room will adjust dependent roomsdefaults.
Disadvantage: Manually entered bookings do not change ==Example 2 - Rent the inventory of dependent rooms automatically. You will need to adjust this manually so all effected rooms have correct availability.house or two separate apartments or 3 apartments==
To be available the larger unit needs the smaller unit to be available. To achieve this set following dependencies in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->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
 
==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. Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and set: House *Requires Availability in: Apartment1 and Apartment2 and Apartment2A and Apartment2B
*House - ''Requires Availability in'': Apartment1 and Apartment 2, ''Assign Bookings to'': All Dependency Rooms ''Dependency Level': <ins>Include</ins> Sub DependenciesLeave all other settings at the defaults.
*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 roomsApartment 1, Apartment 2, Apartment 2A, Apartment 2B
*Requires Availability in: House*Include Bookings from: House 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).
To set this up you will need 5 rooms in SETTINGS -> ROOMS.
*House - ''Requires Availability in'': Room 1, Room 2, Room 3 and "Combination Logic"= All rooms must be available
==Example 4==A holiday - Rent the full house consist of , 2 apartments (apartment A and apartment B) which are rented together and individually. Apartment B consists of or 3 individuals rooms which are also rented separately.==
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 ==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) This will require 7 rooms*Entire House*Private room A*Private Room B*Dorm Room 1*Dorm Room 2*Virtual Room 1 *Virtual Room 2 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 A and B *Quantity of this type = 1 *Booking type = 1 per Booking*Maximum number of Guests = 2 Dorm Room 1 and 2 *Quantity of this type = 4*Booking type = 1 per guest*Maximum number of Guests = 4for DORMS ([[Hostel and Retreat Setup|please see the set up instructions for hostels]]).   Virtual Room 1 and Virtual Room 2*Quantity of this type = 1 *Booking type = 1 per Booking*Guests = 4 (number of beds)*Sell Priority = HIDE (will not show on your Booking page) 2. Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and set Entire House *Requires Availability in Private Room A, Private Room B, Virtual Room 1 & Virtual Room 2 *Combination Logic = All Rooms must be available*Dependency Level = Include Sub DependenciesLeave all other settings as default Private Room A & Private Room B :*Include Bookings from = Entire HouseLeave all other settings as default Dorm Room 1 *Requires Availability in Virtual Room 1*Combination Logic = 1 Unit must be available*Dependency Level = Ignore Sub DependenciesLeave all other settings as default Dorm Room 2:*Requires Availability in Virtual Room 2*Combination Logic = 1 Unit must be available*Dependency Level = Ignore Sub DependenciesLeave all other settings as default Virtual Room 1:*Requires Availability in = Dorm Room 1*Combination Logic: 4 unit must be available*Include Bookings from = Entire House Virtual Room 2:*Requires Availability in = Dorm Room 2*Combination Logic: 4 unit must be available*Include Bookings from = Entire HouseLeave 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*ApartmentA*ApartmentB Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and set: House*Requires Availability in: ApartmentA and ApartmentB.*Combination logic = 3 units must be available. Leave all other settings at the defaults.  Apartment A and Apartment B*Requires Availability in: House.*Combination logic = 1 unit must be available. Leave all other settings at the defaults.
