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

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

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