Creating a SQVI Custom Report in GTS

This guide will demonstrate the process of creating a custom report in GTS using transaction SQVI.
The report will join four GTS tables:
/SAPSLL/PNTPR this is the GTS product master
/SAPSLL/PRCTS this is where the numbering schemes are stored
/SAPSLL/CTSNUM this is the where the classification numbers are stored
/SAPSLL/CTSNUMT this is where the text objects for the classification numbers are stored
The objective of this report is to generate a report that will display any and all of the text objects
associated with a products classification number using any classification numbering scheme.
After logging into GTS, enter transaction SQVI, or from the SAP Menu path, follow:

The second table appears now. Notice that the system has already proposed a link, or join.

This link will not work, however. Remember, the links between two tables must be identical.
GUID_PR does not equal GUID_PRCTS. However, there is a GUID_PR entry in table
/SAPSLL/PRCTS. This is where the link between /SAPSLL/PNTPR and /SAPSLL/PRCTS mu st occur.
Click anywhere on the connector line.

In the report, we want to not only display the material number, but also make it a selection field.

The report should also be executable on the classification numbering scheme. Make this selection
under the options for table /SAPSLL/PRCTS.

For the classification number, we only want to display the classification number rather than make it an
input field.

Finally in table /SAPSLL/CTNSNUMT, we want to make the text type as both a list item and a selection
item. The actual text will only be displayed in the report.
