This looks very far from ready for a GA nomination to me.

• The lead is too short and does a poor job of summarizing the rest of the article
• The entire "Features" section is unsourced
  •  Done Palmpilot (talk) 00:56, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
• Text like "The architecture of the iDempiere system is sophisticated" is both vague and promotional (WP:PEACOCK)
  •  Done Palmpilot (talk) 00:56, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
• References 1 through 18 are all primary and of dubious reliability. Many other sources appear to be on the system's own Wiki, not acceptable for a reliable source
• The "Awards and Recognition" section looks very promotional
• The entire "Platform" section, most of the "Technology" section, and the entire "Business Processes" section are unsourced
• Phrasing like "The best way to be connected with the community for user, developers and documenters are the wiki, forums and chats like" and "In iDempiere is very simple to create new tables" are both promotional and inappropriately editorial (and in the second case also ungrammatical)
  •  Done Palmpilot (talk) 00:14, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
• Much of the article consists of bulleted lists instead of well-written prose

As such I think it meets the "It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria" condition for immediate failure. (Unfortunately, the state of GA reviewing is such that "immediate" means "over two months after you nominated it"...sorry about that.)

I did also run a copyright violation check through Earwig. It found a big overlap with http://www.sts.vn/2016/06/02/idempiere-2/ but I think the copying probably went in the other direction. So I think there isn't a problem there but it probably is worth checking into this more carefully if this is to be brought forward for GA again.
