ELSTER for SAP Business One

Submit advance VAT return 2025 securely and efficiently

The advance VAT return (UStVA) is a central obligation for companies in Germany. With SAP Business One and the integrated ELSTER interface, electronic transmission to the tax office is not only error-free, but also efficient. An update of the ELSTER add-on is required to ensure that you also meet all legal requirements in 2025.

Why an update is necessary

From February 2025, new legal requirements will come into force that make the use of the updated ELSTER Rich Client (ERiC) version 41.2.6.0 mandatory. Only the latest version of the ELSTER add-on for SAP Business One guarantees legally compliant transmission of your advance VAT returns. Older versions of the add-on or the ERP system itself no longer meet these requirements.

To be able to use the update, you need at least SAP Business One Release 10.0. If you are still using an older version, a system upgrade is required to benefit from the new ELSTER functionality.

Advantages of ELSTER integration in SAP Business One

Error-free data transmission

Electronic transmission minimizes transmission errors, as your data is processed directly from the system.

Current certificates

SAP Business One always provides up-to-date certificates to ensure legally compliant communication with the tax office.

Time saving

The seamless integration allows you to create and send the VAT return directly from SAP Business One without having to use external tools.

The new ELSTER version: Now available

The adapted ELSTER version is now available and can be installed. With this update you benefit from:

  • Full integration: The updated ELSTER interface ensures a seamless connection between SAP Business One and the tax authorities.
  • Legal certainty: Compliance with the latest legal requirements keeps you on the safe side.

Act now: Your update for 2025

An update is essential so that you can submit the advance VAT return 2025 in a legally compliant and efficient manner. Do you use SAP Business One Release 10.0? Perfect! Contact us for an update to the latest version to ensure a smooth start to the new year. If you are still working with an older version, we will be happy to help you upgrade to the latest system version.

(2) The following data are processed: session ID for user requests, the time of the request, the request itself, the chatbot’s response, the topic, and the language.

(3) We process this data to analyze the productivity of our chatbot and to continuously improve it. This includes the following purposes:

  • Chatbot performance optimization: We collect and analyze interactions with the chatbot to evaluate its efficiency and performance. This includes, for example, questions the chatbot could not answer, repeated inquiries on specific topics, and similar issues.
  • Enhancing the user experience: We use data to improve the user experience. This includes analyzing user feedback to make adjustments and expansions to the chatbot to better meet your needs.
  • Error detection and resolution: The data allow us to detect errors and issues in real time, enabling faster resolution and updates to the chatbot.
  • Statistical evaluations: We generate aggregated, anonymized statistical reports on chatbot usage. These reports contain no personal information and serve to analyze trends and patterns.
