How to use virtual rooms to sell two rooms independently and as a suite at the same time

Example 1: A B&B has 2 rooms (single and double). The rooms can be sold individually or together as a suite.

1. Set up your “real” rooms:

• Create one room double

• Create one room single

2. Set up your “virtual” room:

• Create one room suite

3. Set up the room dependency settings in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES as follows:

• Suite:
  • Requires Availability in = double
  • Requires Availability in = single
  • Combination Logic = all rooms must be available

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

• Double:
  • Include Bookings from = Suite

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

• Single:
  • Include Bookings from = Suite

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

Example 2: A Lodging as has 2 identical rooms which are set up as one room type with the quantity of 2. The rooms can be sold individually or together as a suite.

1. Set up your “real” rooms:

• Create one room with a quantity of 2.

2. Set up your “virtual” suite

• Create one room suite

3. Set up the room dependency settings in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES as follows:

• Suite:
  • Requires Availability in = rooms
  • Combination Logic = 2 units must be available

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

• Rooms:
  • Requires Availability in = suite

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

Example 3: A Lodging has a double room and a twin room. The twin room is also sold as king room. The double and the twin room are sold as Suite 1 and the double and the king room are sold as Suite 2

The 2 real rooms and the king room can all be sold separately as well as the 2 suites.

1. Set up your “real” rooms:

• Create a Double and a Twin room with a quantity of 1 each.

2. Set up your “virtual” rooms

• Create one room King with a quantity of 1
• Create one room Suite 1 with a quantity of 1
• Create one room Suite 2 with a quantity of 1

2. Set up the room dependency settings in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES as follows:

• King:
  • Requires Availability in = Twin

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

• Suite 1:
  • Requires Availability in = Twin and Double
  • Combination Logic = All rooms must be available

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

• Suite 2:
  • Requires Availability in = Twin and Double
  • Combination Logic = All rooms must be available

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

• Double:
  • Include Bookings from = Suite 1, Suite 2

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

• Twin:
  • Include Bookings from = King, Suite 1, Suite 2

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

2. Set up your “virtual” rooms:

• Create one room type standard room with the quantity of 3

• Create the suite with a quantity of 1

3. Set up the room dependency settings in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES as follows:

• Room type standard room:
  • Requires Availability in = room type standard containing iris and rose
  • Requires Availability in = tulip
  • Combination Logic = Sum of all bookings
  • Assign Bookings to = First available dependency room

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

• Suite:
  • Requires Availability in = tulip
  • Requires Availability in = economy room
  • Combination Logic = all rooms must be available
