Dear Experts!

I would be greatful to you if anyone can send me a custom report for MCSI Transaction.

Actually my requirement is , I have all the required data in the MCSI but the problem is i have the report of a particular stockist in one page whereas my client wants to see all the stockists data pertaining to a plant on one page .

Thanks in Advance.

Just create an infostructure that will satisfy the user requirements (Plant would be the 1st characteristic, I imagine) and have them use MCSI with it.

Technically MCSI is just a drill-down report that runs from the info-structures (tables with the names that start with S followed by 3 digits, e.g. S999). You should be able write your own drill-down or ALV report that will read an infostructure (it's just a database table) and display the data - it's not a rocket science. Most likely the users don't need all the functionality available in MCSI.

You can find more information on info structures in SAP Help here:

Technically the info structures should be configured by a functional consultant - it does not require any ABAP skills, unless there is a need for the custom requirements/formulas. You might want to ask your manager to review the task assignment.

At one point I looked at the MCSI code myself, but found it too complex to adopt in my own program. There is a lot of dynamic stuff and little pieces of code here and there, because this transaction is meant to work with different info structures. In the custom program this would not be necessary. Also many users actually prefer the ALV functionality to the outdated drill-down reports.

On one project we ended up using MCSI for things like 2-year comparison and also wrote a custom ALV report for other needs. It's very easy and you'll find many examples on the Internet (here is [one of them|http://www.sapdev.co.uk/reporting/alvhome.htm] ).
