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>
