[Music] Hey, guys! Welcome to another video. In this video,
I'm going to talk about our next adapter, which is Elster Adapter. Let's begin.
What is Elster Adapter? We use Elster Adapter when you have a requirement to integrate SAP
and non-SAP applications with German government authorities who take care of tax management.
Basically, in Germany, German tax authorities have a system called Electronic Tax Administration
system, which is Elster system. If you want to integrate your applications with this government
body, you have to use Elster Adapter. This adapter allows you to send and receive tax documentations,
such as tax on sales and purchases and employment tax decisions. This adapter
uses a library called Elster Library, which is provided by tax authorities.
This adapter supports both sender-side communication and receiver-side communication.
Let's talk about what are the different applications that we can integrate by using
this adapter. As I mentioned earlier, this is mainly used for exchanging tax documentation.
We can use the adapter to integrate SAP systems like SAP HANA, SAP SuccessFactors,
and of course, it also supports other non-SAP applications because we are mediating via SAP CPI.
Let's talk about the dos and don'ts of using this Elster Adapter. Use Elster Adapter for scenarios
that require secure, reliable, and compliant tax reporting to the German tax authorities.
Use OAuth credential name feature to authenticate your Elster account with
SAP CPI. Use a scheduler feature to schedule the polling interval of the sender adapter.
Now, let's talk about the don'ts of using Elster Adapter. Don't use Elster Adapter for scenarios
that require tax reporting to other countries or other regions because this adapter only supports
the German Tax Administration system. Do not use Elster Adapter to integrate streaming applications
or real-time applications because Elster Adapter supports only scheduling or batch data processing.
Let's talk about the parameters that you need to configure an Elster Adapter. In Elster Adapter,
in the connections parameter, you need to mention the OAuth credential name. In the processing,
you need to indicate what kind of tax documentation operation you're trying
to perform. In the processing section, you need to specify the operation,
which is the type of tax document operation to be performed with Elster server. For example,
it can be send tax document or receive tax document or statistic.
Let's talk about the known issues using Elster Adapter. At the moment,
Elster Adapter does not support Elster operations in the test
tool. This adapter does not support Elster operations in local initiation process.
Elster Adapter does not support Elster operation in error handling process.
That's it about Elster Adapter. Personally, I have not worked with Elster Adapter in any of
integrations. If you're working with a German customer, I'm sure you'll get a chance to work
with this adapter. If you like the video or if you find this video useful, consider giving a like,
