People who have interest in SAP training might often meet an acronym IDES. So what does these four mysterious letters actually stand for? What is SAP IDES?
The truth is that IDES means Internet Demonstration and Evaluation System and is used as SAP internal system mainly for testing and training purposes. The IDES system is run in Walldorf, the headquarter of SAP. This system has several SAP clients and contains a sample set of master data for every SAP module of the IDES model company. The IDES model company represents an organization with standardized business processes and is ideal for the purposes of demonstration and explanation of the functionality of the various SAP solutions to potential customers, SAP students, and prospects.
There are also IDES demo systems and IDES demo landscapes that can be accessed by customers. These systems are in fact just copies of the IDES system in Walldorf. Among other functions, the IDES systems are able to facilitate demos, self-study or functional evaluation or functional tests based on the pre-configured data and (or) clients. According to SAP the IDES in any case must not be used as a production system!
In SAP training courses, the IDES system is actually used, however initially SAP IDES systems do not contain training data for the SAP training courses. The training data is loaded to SAP IDES system just before the start of SAP training course.
For any additional information about SAP IDES please refer to the official IDES Info Site at the SAP Service Marketplace:

Hi Cleo,
Good day.

Requires to register with a price to pay & so on?
We have installed the “IDES ERP 2005 ECC 6.0 – Retail” on our server. The problem is we don’t find any master Data there. We are particularly interested in testing the SAP Bapi functions as a part of our ETL process. One of the Bapi function is BAPI_PO_GET_LIST. However we found out the Bapi function doesn’t return any data related to purchase orders. Eventually we tried to create our own Purchase orders. It turned out that the corresponding Master Data (like Material Master, Site, Articles etc.) are also not there. Can somebody explain how can we access the data (both Master and Transactional) to carry out our Bapi function testing. You urgent feedback is required. Thanks in advance.

I think is a very good offer: https://erptrainingtech.com/collections/sap-ides-ecc6-ehp7/products/sap-ides-365-days
but you can also test it free for one day.
they say: “Access SAP ERP IDES 365 days. ALL STANDARD MODULES SAP ERP IDES access already comes with all modules configured for SAP ERP IDES companies. The modules FI, CO, LE, MM, PP, QM, PM, PS and SD are present.”
but NO teaching support.
warning:: you can download sap gui interface 7.50 from there, but you need vista or higher.
I’m still using an old windows xp but fortunally I had a gui 7.20 somewere and is ok.
