Availability check

I've configured the following scenario in our R/3 (4.7) system. I am using a cash sales order ZBV (copy of BV) without the delivery process. It's required that the order quantity in the order updates the stock level.

According to the documentation the MRP type and the item category determine the requirement type.
MRP Type Z1 and item Category ZBVN use Requirement type 031

The scope of the availability check is determined by the checking group and checking rule
The checking group is 01 - Daily requirements but I don't know which checking rule is determined by the system. Documentation says that it is determined automatically by the system. Which one would be used by cash sales order without a delivery process?

Can you have a look at my config and see if I'm missing something?
Item Category ZBVN


Schedule Line


MRP type in the material master is set to Z1

MRP Type Z1 and item Category ZBVN use Requirement type 031

Requirement type 031 is assigned to Requirement class 031

Checking group 01 is assigned to the material


Which checking rule is being used by the system for my scenario?

Billing plan factory calendar special rules (solution)

This is the solution to a problem posted on the blog on the 27th of April
The answer is the following:
In the settings for the Date Determination Rules (transaction OVBS), you can not maintain the Time period/unit and Calendar ID fields simultaneously. You can specify one or the other but not both.

This is specified in OSS Note 830484:
"Also note that period/time unit and calendar cannot be used simultaneously in a rule for the determination of settlement periods (Note 109013). Unfortunately, this Customizing setting cannot be checked already during the entry, since these rules are not used only for the billing plan".
I changed the settings in the IMG as follows

I also changed the billing plan (Transaction OVBI) to include the Date determination rule Z3 in the Next bill. date and Dev.Bill.Date fields (screen below)


Now when creating a contract with start and end date the billing days are what you'd expect:
