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 product’s classification number using any classification numbering scheme.
After logging into GTS, enter transaction SQVI, or from the SAP Menu path, follow:
SAP Menu→Tools→ABAP Workbench→Utilities→SQVI QuickViewer
In the initial screen, enter a “QuickView” name for your report and click

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.
