#REDIRECT [[Category:BookingsCombine_individual_rooms_into_a_roomtype]][[Category:How to]][[Category:Rooms]][[Category:Channel Manager]][[Category:Virtual Rooms and Dependencies]] ''This page explains how to set up room types and individual room using virtual rooms''This function can be used *if you offer your rooms by roomtype on your booking page but have several rooms of one type and want to assign bookings to specific rooms in the control panel and/or have the option to change the assigned room*if you use booking channels (e.g. Airbnb) which can not handle room types '''1. Setup your real rooms''' If necessary add rooms in SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES -> ROOMS. Go to SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES -> ROOMS -> SETUP and*Set "Quantity of This Type" to "1"*Enter the number of Guests*Set "Sell Priority" to "Hide Room" *Leave all other settings on the defaults. '''2. Create a virtual room to display on your booking page''' If necessary add a room in SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES -> ROOMS. Go to SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES -> ROOMS -> SETUP and*Set "Quantity of This Type" to the number of rooms of this room type.*Enter the number of Guests*Set "Requires Availability in" for each of your real rooms. The order defines where bookings will be placed first*Set "Combination Logic" to "Sum of All Bookings"*Set "Assign Bookings to" to "First Available Dependency Room"*Leave all other settings on the defaults. To assign a booking to a different room just open the booking and change "Unit". '''Note:''' The virtual room feature works only for online bookings. If you add bookings manually place them in your "real rooms" not into virtual rooms. '''Note:''' Occasionally a booking will not be able to be assigned automatically because for example a two night booking might reuire a change of room or other bookings to be re-assigned. In this case the booking will be assigned to the Virtual room and you must manually re-assign bookings to block the real rooms.
