My SAP Business One system stopped sending VAT returns to HMRC right after the last update. Each attempt ends with the MTD add-on throwing a “temporary error” during submission, so nothing reaches the HMRC gateway. We recently upgraded to a new server with the latest patch (one version below the newest). Filing worked fine on the old server, but it’s not functioning on the new one. I need someone who knows the SAP B1 Making Tax Digital add-on inside out to: • Pinpoint why the connector now fails and clear the “temporary error” message. • Re-establish a clean, authenticated connection so the return goes straight through to HMRC without manual work-arounds. • Prove the fix by running a test submission (or simulation) and showing the accepted response reference. • Leave me with brief notes explaining what was changed so I can avoid the same issue at the next update. You’ll have remote access to the SAP B1 environment; all licensing and HMRC credentials are ready. Once I see a successful submission and have your short hand-over notes, the job is complete.

Hello, We will diagnose the MTD add-on failure, restore the HMRC connection, and confirm a successful VAT submission with a verified response reference. After recent SAP B1 updates, the MTD connector often breaks due to expired OAuth tokens or updated SSL certificate requirements on the HMRC gateway. We will check both, re-authenticate the connection, and validate the full submission pipeline with a test return. A couple of quick things to confirm: 1) Which SAP B1 version and patch level are you currently running? 2) Is the MTD add-on from Syscomm, Absolute, or another provider? The number quoted here is a starting estimate. The exact cost and timeline will be confirmed after we go through the full scope together. Looking forward to talking through the details. Faizan

I've resolved similar SAP Business One MTD issues after server migrations and patch upgrades where the root cause was authentication, certificates, add on configuration, or environment changes rather than HMRC itself. I'll identify the exact failure, restore a stable HMRC connection, validate it with a successful test submission, and provide concise handover notes. I can start immediately. My estimate is £750 fixed with 4 to 8 hours for diagnosis, resolution, testing, and documentation, depending on the underlying cause.

I can quickly diagnose and restore your ERP tax-submission connector so VAT returns resume sending automatically without manual workarounds. My approach is practical and transparent: I will first run a controlled triage to reproduce the “temporary error,” review connector and system logs, and capture the failing API exchanges. From there I will identify whether the failure is caused by authentication, certificate/token rotation, configuration changes introduced by the last update, or an integration-layer issue. I will implement the targeted fix (configuration correction, token/certificate refresh, or lightweight code/config patch), re-establish an authenticated connection, and run a test submission (or simulation) to obtain an accepted response reference to prove the fix. Finally I will deliver brief, clear handover notes summarising what was changed, why it failed, and steps to avoid recurrence at the next update. Relevant experience: troubleshooting and restoring ERP connectors, API integration debugging, testing/QA of gateway submissions, and concise technical documentation. Estimated effort: 12 hours. I will proceed once remote access and credentials are available and we agree the scope above.

Hello, The first thing I'd check is whether the issue is with the MTD add-on, HMRC authentication, or something that changed after the server migration like certificates, TLS, or SAP B1 service settings. Which SAP Business One version, MTD add-on version, and Windows Server version are you running? Finding the real cause is faster than guessing. Let's convince HMRC the server moved house, not disappeared. Best regards, Dev S.

VAT returns aren’t reaching HMRC because the SAP Business One Making Tax Digital connector fails with a “temporary error” after the last update. I’ll focus on the MTD add-on end-to-end: identify what changed in the update that now breaks submission, clear the temporary error state, and restore a clean authenticated connection so the return submits successfully to the HMRC gateway. Approach: - Log and trace the MTD submission flow to pinpoint the failure point introduced by the update. - Re-establish authentication/session and any required connection settings so submissions complete without manual workarounds. - Run a controlled test submission (or simulation) and verify an accepted response reference from HMRC. - Provide brief, practical hand-over notes describing exactly what was changed and what to watch for after future SAP B1 updates. Remote access-ready environment is perfect, once submission succeeds and the short hand-over notes are delivered, the fix is complete.

I understand your SAP Business One MTD add-on is encountering a "temporary error" during VAT submissions to HMRC, preventing successful transmission post-update. I recently resolved a similar issue where an SAP B1 system update caused authentication failures with a third-party tax gateway, restoring full submission functionality within 24 hours. I will diagnose the MTD add-on's communication failure by examining the SAP B1 logs and the specific error codes generated. My approach involves debugging the connection parameters, verifying API credentials, and potentially reconfiguring the add-on's interaction with HMRC's gateway using tools like Postman for API testing. The deliverable will be a fully functional MTD submission process, confirmed by a successful test submission reflected in your SAP B1 interface. What specific version of the SAP B1 MTD add-on are you currently running? Ready to start as soon as you confirm scope.

I can resolve this for you today. This temporary error post migration is almost always caused by a broken OAuth2 token path, a TLS 1.2/1.3 handshake mismatch on the new server, or an outdated DI API component resulting from the patch upgrade. To fix this, I will first clear and re-establish a clean OAuth2 authentication loop directly with HMRC. Next, I will verify your server's TLS cipher suites and ensure the DI API component precisely matches your exact SAP Business One patch level to restore smooth communication. Once the environment is stabilized, I will run a simulation or test submission to successfully capture the accepted response reference from the HMRC gateway. Finally, I will provide brief, clear handover documentation so your team can easily handle or avoid this issue during future updates. I am ready to connect via AnyDesk or TeamViewer immediately. Let's schedule the call and get this sorted out for you. Best regards, Tumelo

The “temporary error” after your last SAP B1 update suggests a connection or authentication issue with the MTD add-on. I’ve worked with SAP B1 integrations involving HMRC's API, often pinpointing update-related breakages within the connector logs and re-establishing secure, authenticated links. My approach starts with reviewing the current connector logs to identify where the failure occurs, then reconfiguring the authentication settings or API parameters as needed. I’ve previously resolved similar issues where updates caused token invalidation, resulting in successful test submissions with accepted reference numbers. Would you be able to share the latest error logs or any recent update notes? This will help me target the root cause quickly.

Hi, I can start immediately and help you resolve the SAP Business One MTD VAT submission failure caused by the “temporary error” after the latest update. I’ve worked with SAP Business One integrations and tax/Making Tax Digital (MTD) connectors, including troubleshooting API authentication issues, add-on update conflicts, and HMRC gateway submission errors. These issues are usually related to token refresh, certificate mismatch, or post-update connector configuration changes—and I can quickly isolate the exact root cause in your system. What I will do for you: Diagnose the SAP B1 MTD add-on failure and identify why submissions started failing after the update Fix authentication/connector issues so VAT returns submit directly to HMRC without manual steps Validate end-to-end flow by running a successful test submission and capturing the HMRC response reference Ensure stable reconnection so the issue does not reappear after future updates Provide clear, simple handover notes explaining exactly what was changed and how to maintain it My approach I’ll first review logs from SAP B1 + MTD add-on, then trace the HMRC API handshake (OAuth/token + certificate layer). Once identified, I’ll correct the configuration or patch the connector and immediately test live submission through the HMRC sandbox/production flow. You will get a fully working VAT submission process verified with a success response, not just a partial fix. Ready to connect and start as soon as access is provided.

Hi, I'm the CEO & Founder of Nexucon, based in the UK, and I noticed you're also based in the UK. We have an office at 25 Cabot Square, London, so if you ever prefer, we can even have a face-to-face meeting, although, of course, all project communication and payments will remain through the Freelancer.com platform. We are an SAP specialist company. Our SAP Business One developers have 10+ years of experience, and although we're new here, we've successfully delivered similar SAP projects outside this platform. We'll start by reviewing the MTD add-on logs, SAP B1 integration settings, TLS/certificate status, HMRC authentication tokens, API endpoints, and any changes introduced by the latest update. We'll then restore the connection, validate the authentication flow, perform a successful test/simulation submission, verify the HMRC response reference, and provide short hand-over notes so the same issue doesn't happen after future updates. If this sounds like the right approach, let's start a chat. We'll review everything and get back to you with our ideas, an estimated timeline, and the cost. Thank you

The likely failure point is the new server environment rather than the VAT payload itself: add-on version mismatch, TLS/certificate trust, HMRC OAuth tokens, SAP B1 service layer/config paths, or blocked outbound gateway calls after the migration. I’d start by comparing the old working setup against the new patch/server config, then trace the MTD add-on logs and HMRC request/response layer instead of guessing from the “temporary error” text. The fix should end with a clean re-authenticated HMRC connection, a controlled test/simulation, and notes covering what changed. One thing I’d need upfront is the SAP B1 version/patch level, SQL or HANA, and the exact MTD add-on version now installed.

Hello, I hope you're doing well. I have hands-on experience fixing SAP B1 MTD add-on integrations and getting VAT submissions through the HMRC gateway, having delivered several similar fixes. On one project I resolved a connector failure caused by mismatched TLS settings and an expired client certificate, updating IIS bindings and the add-on's API client configuration to accept HMRC responses. I'd start by reviewing the MTD logs, IIS bindings, and the add-on's certificate store, then reproduce the "temporary error" and test a submission using the HMRC sandbox or live endpoint as allowed. If you have ten minutes, I'd like to compare notes on the recent server patch level and confirm remote access plus the add-on logs so I can pinpoint the root cause. Thank you, Alpeshbhai M.
