Room Type represents an accommodation inventory at your property. A villa, room or bed at a hostel dormitory can be a Room Type.
If your property uses rooms instead of the traditional room type then just create a room type for each room. If you have vacation rentals you need to make a room type for the property since creating a property alone is not enough.

Decrease occupancy options and connected channels
Sometimes you can have necessity to decrease occupancy options for adults (example: change Adults occupancy from 3 to 2). In that case, if removed occupancy option is mapped to Channel, Channex will return Validation Error. This behaviour allow us to prevent any mistakes from client side. But, in case if you understand what you would like to do, you can trigger update operation with force flag:
PUT /api/v1/room_types/:id?force=true
In that case, Channex will remove occupancy option and all associated mappings from Channels.
{"errors": {"code":"resource_not_found""title": "Resource Not Found" }}
Flags
Because the system does not allow to remove room types associated with a channel, we expose an additional feature flag - force. To remove RoomType and un-map it from a channel.
