About SAP IDES Accounting - talhasaud - 01-13-2010
SAP IDES is a normal R/3 but with lots of DEMO data.
The system that contains several sample companies typifying relevant
business processes. It is simple to use and has a variety of master
and transaction data, and is used for demos, online/classroom
training, and presentations. Potential customers use IDES to trial
and test software via Internet.
SAP IDES the "Internet Demonstration and Evaluation System"
in the
R/3 System, represents a model company. It consists of an
international group with subsidiaries in several countries. IDES
contains application data for various business scenarios that can be
run in the SAP System. The business processes in the IDES system are
designed to reflect real-life business requirements, and have access
to many realistic characteristics. IDES uses easy-to-follow business
scenarios to show you the comprehensive functions of the R/3 System.
The focal point of IDES, however, is not the functionality itself,
but the business processes and their integration.
IDES not only covers the Logistics area, but also Financials, and
Human Resources. It demonstrates how the R/3 System is able to
support practically all types of industries, from discrete
production through to process industries, from engineering-to-order
to repetitive manufacturing. However, IDES is not a sector-oriented
model company.
The individual processes are based on practice-oriented data for
sectors such as Retailing or Banking. The IDES group manufactures
products as diverse as elevators, motorcycles, and paints.
IDES is managed by SAP just as any regular business enterprise. SAP
regularly updates the IDES data (master data, transaction data, and
customizing). IDES also carry out period-end closing and plan with
different time-horizons. Transaction data are generated to ensure
that the information systems in all areas have access to realistic
evaluation data. IDES are constantly implementing new, interesting
business scenarios to highlight the very latest functions available
in the R/3 System. New functions are represented and documented by
IDES scenarios.
