It is advisable to create new info structures when the standard info structures do not comply with your requirements and the volume of data does not allow a "document based" reporting through ALV.

If you use SAP BI or another Reporting solution (Business Objects, etc.), you might or not decide to create an info structure in the SAP ERP system anyway, it will depend. For example if you already use SAP BI, then you want to do all the Reporting in SAP BI, not in the SAP ERP. But if you decide to use another solution for Reporting as can be SQL Server Reporting Services or similar, then it will be very useful to define an info structure in SAP because your data will be already formated for Reporting and therefore much easier to extract.

Regarding customizing, please check relevant customizing help in the SAP system and search this forum. I am pretty sure someone has already described the whole process which first step is of course: Define clearly what you want to achieve from a business point of view, not a technical one.
