This page explains how to use room dependencies to offer one unit as a whole and at the same time offer parts individually. 

1 Example 1

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


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

House

  • Requires Availability in: Apartment1 and Apartment2 and Apartment3

Leave all other settings at the defaults.


Apartment 1, Apartment 2, Apartment 3

  • Include Bookings from: House

Leave all other settings at the defaults.

2 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 Apartment 2,

Assign Bookings to: All Dependency Rooms Dependency Level': Include Sub Dependencies

  • 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 rooms

3 Example 3

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
  • 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: Room 1, Room 2, Room 3 and "Combination Logic"= All rooms must be available
  • House - Requires Availability in: Room 1, Room 2, Room 3 and "Combination Logic"= All rooms must be available

4 Example 4

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 rooms in SETTINGS -> ROOMS.

  • House
  • Apartment A
  • Apartment B
  • Room 1
  • Room 2
  • Room 3

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

  • 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


Note: If you are using dependencies please test thoroughly to make sure your set up reflects your rules.
