Recently i downloaded the Developer 7.52 SP04 version of SAP. I am trying to complete some of the modules on the training website and other tutorials and i am coming across missing items. For example, the latest tutorial is showing me how to pull materials from the MARA table. However i noticed i am missing this table. is there a way to import testing data to fill these common tables so i can move forward with my ABAP learning? i am trying to get certified asap.

Hi Brian,
OnPrem Developer Edition is just the "Netweaver ABAP" - it contains only the technical foundation for the business systems.
Table MARA (Material Master or Product) is not part of the technical foundation. 'MARA' is delivered by the ERP solutions like ECC6.0 or S/4HANA.
For training regarding table MARA, you'll need a training system with ERP. As far as i know such a system is not available as a developer edition.
Best Regards
Eric

Hello eric,
just a question if i may. is it possible to import tables into SAP via an excel worksheet? i know how to make tables through abap but i was hoping there is something quicker.

You can rent a fully functional S/4 HANA ERP system on cal.sap.com and pay as you use; but it would be a time limited demo system - so it's not supposed to be used forever.

this might be a viable option. thank you!

As eric says: it´s a Netweaver system not an ERP system. So if you are going to learn ABAP find the learning material that i.ex. uses the tables SCARR, SPFLI and SFLIGHT. Theese are used in the Demo Flight Company that should be in all Netweaver systems

Hi,
I have the same problem on eclipse while trying to do the hands-on tasks of the ABAP restful programing course.
I created an instance and connected to ABAB environment by a service key, then created a project in eclipse but there is no MARA or EQUI tables available to continue the steps. Any advice in this regard?
