There are wonderful reports available in standard SAP’s Information Structures (E.g. MCxx reports). It can be so cruel though when data gets corrupted. You usually end up comparing report figures with whatever reasonable value you find elsewhere in SAP. If you want to be sure about the Information Structure’s reliability it is worthwhile to update an infostructure (say S021 – Production Order), store it under a temporary version ‘&(1′, and finally call this test version in a report that default uses version ’000′.
To call up another version than ’000′ go to System > User profile > User parameters and enter the parameter ID ‘MCR’ with the value ‘X’.
Parameter MCR
Now if you call up a standard analysis like MCP3 – Production Order Analysis a new field is visible for version selection. See picture below.
MCP3 - New version field
The major benefit of this procedure is that you don’t have to backup/delete current production data in version ’000′.
It is also possible to compare the current version ’000′ with the new test version going to Menu > Edit > Comparisons > Planned/Actual…
