IDES - The SAP Model Company

IDES - The SAP Model Company

Introduction 
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.

在SAP R/3系统中，所谓IDES，即"Internet Demonstration and Evaluation System"(国际演示和教育系统)，也就是一个模拟公司实际运作的模型。它包含了一个国际性的组织(集团)及几个国家的子公司。IDES包含了各种商业场景的应用数据，这些数据可以在SAP系统中运行。这些企业业务流程在IDES系统中设计成反映真实的企业需求，还能够接近很多的现实特征。IDES能够运用显而易见的商业场景，把SAP R/3系统中的全面功能展现出来。然而，IDES的焦点，不在于它本身的功能，而在于它的企业业务流程及其集成度。

These IDES business processes are described in detail within this online documentation.The individual demos provide you with an overview of the master data, and contain step-by-step instructions of how to execute the individual processes.

IDES企业业务流程被详细地描述在一个在线文档中。其独立的示范版本为你提供了一个主数据的概览，及包含了一步接一步地执行这一过程的操作说明。

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不仅包括了后勤的部分，还包括了财务和人力资源。它演示了R/3系统能够（怎样）支持几乎全部的工业（行业）类型，从分散（离散）生产到加工行业（流程生产），从按订单设计（按订单设计制造）到重复制造业（重复制造）。然而，IDES不是一个针对部分的公司模型。其独立的处理是基于诸如零售业或银行业部分的针对演练的数据（其独立的处理是针对基于诸如零售业或银行业部分的演练数据）。IDES组织制造如电梯、摩托车、油漆等不同的产品。

IDES is managed by SAP just as any regular business enterprise. SAP regularly updates the IDES data (master data, transaction data, and customizing). We 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. We 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. 

IDES被SAP管理着，就象任何有规则的商业企业一样。SAP可有序地更新IDES的数据(主数据、事务数据、用户定制)。@? 我们也可以根据不同的基准时间来执行周期端的结束和计划。（我们可以执行期末关帐和不同时间范围内的计划），事务数据产生以确保信息系统在所有范围内得以利用（接近）真实的评估数据。我们可以经常地执行（实施）新的、有趣的商业场景以突出R/3系统可利用的最新功能。新的功能可通过IDES场景(设想)来表现及证明(归档)。

Above all, IDES shows you the possibilities of the integrated applications in the SAP System. We cover all aspects of a business enterprise, including Human Resources, Financial Accounting, Product Cost Planning, Overhead Management, Profitability Analysis, Planning, Sales and Distribution, Materials Management, Production, and much, much more. We have also integrated document administration and third-party CAD systems within the IDES system. This means that you can call up and display external documents, or access CAD drawings.

最重要的是，IDES能够给你展示SAP系统综合的应用程序可能发生的事情。我们可以把商业企业所有方面都包含进来，包括人力资源、财务会计、产品成本计划、一般费用管理、收益分析、计划、销售与分销、物料管理、生产等等，还有很多。在IDES系统中，我们同样有着综合性的文档管理，及第三方CAD系统。这就意味着你可以提取和查看外部文档，或者访问CAD制图。

IDES shows you how the R/3 System supports production processes, the supply chain, and the efficient usage of global resources. Or perhaps you would like to increase your understanding of just-in-time-production or the integration of the electronic KANBAN system in an MRP II environment? IDES provides the ideal way to learn about areas such as Product Cost Controlling, Activity-Based Costing, or integrated Service Management and Plant Maintenance. How to manage high inflation is just one of the ever-growing number of IDES business scenarios that you can choose from.

IDES展示了R/3系统如何支持生产工艺(过程)、供应链、以及@? 全球化资源行之有效的方法。或许还可以增进你对“即时生产”，或对一个MRP II环境中的电子化的KANBAN(看板)系统的理解呢？

IDES展示了R/3系统如何支持生产工艺，供应链，以及全球化资源的使用率。或许还可以增进你对"即时生产",或对一个MRPII环境中的电子看板系统的理解呢？IDES提供了理想的方法来学习比如生产成本控制和ABC成本，集成服务管理和工厂维护。你可以从中选择如何在IDES商业场景中怎样管理日益增长的高通货膨胀率

The IDES Release Strategy IDES版本策略
A new version of IDES is available with every correction release. It is not possible to upgrade an existing IDES version to a new release. You can, however, install service packages for the corresponding correction release. This means that every new IDES Release involves a new installation. The IDES Release Strategy ensures that you always get new master data, transaction data, customizing functions, and documentation that are tested and checked for quality.

一个新的IDES版本是由每一次修订后发行生效的。它不可能（不能）由一个已存在的版本直接升级产生新的版本。然而，你可以安装服务套件用于相应的修正版本。这就意味着每一个新的IDES版都需一个全新的安装
