A:
The SAP IDES is suppose to come with pre-defined clients. This Is the whole point of the IDES system. Look at scc4 for the clients. Most probably its client 800. You are not supposed to create additional clients in ides system.
Update to comment: There is no numbering scheme for clients. There are the predefined clients that you shouldn't touch (0,1,66). And other than that you should choose whatever fits your scenario and workflow.
Just as an example. Our landscape consists of one client per system.

OK, so what is the numbering scheme then when you start with a plain SAP system installation? And how many clients would one possibly define and what are the transport routes between them?

As far as I know, there is no official number scheme. You might wan to use 100 for Development, 200 for QA, 300 for Production, 400 for Training, 500 for Regression, 600 for Sandpit, etc.
Then you might want 110, 120, 130, etc. for different Development environments.
You should have as few clients as you can get away with. This is to reduce the amount of administration and storage required.

That makes sense. Basically the first digit tells me if it is Dev, QA, etc.What about the second digit? When would I copy 100 to 110? And what about 120? Is 120 a copy of 100 or 110? Would I create 111 at some point as a copy of 110?

There are several reasons why you might want to do that.To give a training example:400 could be the training client with the master data.410 could be the training client that gets used every day.Every night, you might want to do a client copy from 400 to 410, on order to over-write the data that the trainees have changed that day.

Still wondering when to increment the last digit, but other then that, I think that's a fair answer overall.
