Your course requires IDES data
Ask your instructor which IDES system and sample records are required. Keep that requirement when choosing a provider.
Comparison guide
SAP Access vs IDES
SAP access vs IDES compares two different ideas: permission to use a supplied system and a demonstration environment with model-company data. Identify the software release and records your course needs before choosing access.
AT A GLANCE
Compare what matters
| What to check | An IDES-based offer | ERP Server Access |
|---|---|---|
| What the name means | A demonstration and education setup with model-company scenarios. | A provider of remote SAP practice-system access. |
| What to confirm | The underlying SAP product, release, sample data and permitted tasks. | One named user on our shared SAP S/4HANA 2023 system, with SAP_ALL for all functional T-codes, SPRO configuration and ABAP development. |
| Course examples | An IDES exercise may refer to exact sample organisations and records. | Check the company code, plant and material number in one course exercise. Opening the same transaction on S/4HANA does not create the IDES records it requires. |
| Availability here | We do not currently sell an IDES access package. | Individual S/4HANA 2023 plans and a separate Dedicated Client option are available. |

Understanding the options2 questions
Does IDES mean SAP ECC?
Not by definition. IDES describes a demonstration and education system; the actual SAP product and release must be identified separately.
Do you sell IDES access?
No. Our current practice-access offering is SAP S/4HANA 2023, not an IDES package.
Choosing your setup2 questions
Will every IDES exercise work on your system?
No such match is promised. Check the required release, apps, configuration and sample records.
Does a sample company make a system IDES?
No. Having practice data does not by itself establish that the environment is the SAP IDES system described by your course.
Access and next steps2 questions
