<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 {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > DEPENDENCIES and set this up: House *Requires Availability in: Apartment1 and Apartment2 and Apartment3 *Combination Logic = All rooms must be available.  Leave all other settings at the defaults.  Apartment 1, Apartment 2, Apartment 3 *Requires Availability in: leave blank  *Include Bookings from: House

Advantage==Example 2 - Rent the house or two separate apartments or 3 apartments==  A holiday house which consists two separate apartments (Apartment1 and Apartment2).

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 and , 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 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 avoid overbookings.   Go to {{#fas:cog}} (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 price).   Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) BOOKING ENGINE > PROPERTY BOOKING PAGE > CONFIGURATION > 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 works for your Booking Page (Beds24 - in the price) then you can set to the appropriate Channels, please ensure you test fully the availability/prices being sent to the Channels. ==Example 7 - Property sells as an Entire House on weekends only and individual apartments on weekdays == A Property consists of two separately bookable apartments (Apartment 1 and Apartment 2) and can be rented in full, you want to sell the individual rooms on weekdays only and the entire house on weekends only. (See Example 1 above for details on setup and dependencies)  For the 2 apartments and Entire House Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) > PROPERTIES > OFFERS > OFFER 1 *Set Minimum days*Show = Only when available Create a Rate/Daily price *Set Offer = 1 If using Daily prices go to the Calendar for Entire House - enter prices for weekend days onlyFor Apartments - enter prices for weekdays only If using Rates, *Set Minimum days*Set the 'Rate Allowed' for weekdays/weekends as appropriate for each of the Apartments/Entire house.  <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 avoid overbookings.   Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) > BOOKING ENGINE > PROPERTY BOOKING PAGE > CONFIGURATION > ROOM ORDER- Hide unavailable This will then remove the Rooms from your Booking page when not available.
