Why now

The custom tax logic in your ERP has an eviction notice.

1

The mandate

RISE with SAP and the clean-core principle are clear: custom code leaves the ERP. The tax logic your teams built into user exits, pricing routines, and Z-tables over two decades doesn't survive the move.

2

The gap

Native S/4HANA tax determination was never designed for the hard cases — commodity-dependent rates, customer-specific treatments, cross-border services, special regimes. That's why the custom code existed.

3

The new home

SETA AI moves that intelligence to SAP BTP: a deterministic engine with transparent, human-approved content — connected to S/4HANA through SAP-delivered integration, with zero modifications in your core.

How it connects

Integration is configuration, not a project.

Your S/4HANA already speaks our language: SETA connects through SAP's own delivered framework for external tax calculation — the mechanism SAP built for exactly this purpose.

1

Connect

A standard communication arrangement and a secure destination — set up in your S/4HANA configuration, not in code. Zero modifications, nothing installed in your core.

2

Call

Every determination is an HTTPS call secured with OAuth 2.0 and TLS encryption, answered in milliseconds. Pricing, billing, and accounting run exactly as standard.

3

Adopt at your pace

Route determination to SETA per country or company code while everything else runs unchanged. Coexistence, not a big-bang migration.

No middleware. No adapter layers. No integration project on your roadmap.
What SETA AI does

One engine. Three disciplines.

The outcome for your tax organization: accurate tax on every transaction, a fraction of the manual effort, and audit readiness by default — which is what actually lowers tax compliance risk.

Determines

One generic output code and one input code in SAP carry every treatment — standard, reduced, exempt, reverse charge. The engine returns the rate, the posting logic, the treatment identity, and the legal phrase for the invoice. No tax-code proliferation. No condition-record archaeology.

Drafts

The AI content factory classifies your products into the correct tax category and drafts entire country catalogs in minutes — every proposal grounded in cited legal sources, replacing weeks of manual research. And it learns from every correction your tax team makes, compounding country after country.

Governs

Every determination logged with its full reasoning trace. Change documents on every content table. Referential integrity guards. Validity-dated rates, so a rate change is content loaded in advance — not a transport project. When the auditor asks "why this treatment?", the answer is on record — not in a developer's head.

AI capabilities

AI that works for your tax team.
Never instead of it.

Three places where AI does the heavy lifting — and one rule that never bends: a tax professional approves before anything is used.

1

The Tax Agent — always on watch

Subscribe the countries you operate in and the Tax Agent watches them for statutory change — rate changes, new rules, amended thresholds — and files each detection with its sources. Your team reviews, an approver approves, and the new content goes live on its effective date. Your engine stays current without anyone having to spot the change first.

2

The Help Agent — answers, with the reasoning

Ask why a document got the treatment it did, and it answers from your own determination log and content: the rule that applied, the rate, the legal basis. Ask how to set up a rule, maintain a catalog or read a result, and it walks you through it. Grounded in your tenant, so it explains rather than guesses.

3

AI Studio — drafting and classification

A complete draft catalog for a new country in minutes, every line with its cited legal source. Products classified into the right tax category. Every proposal carries its confidence and waits in the review queue — and the studio learns from every correction your team makes.

Deterministic where it must be. Intelligent where it helps. Approved by people, every time.
Proof

Not a concept. A working system.

On a standard SAP S/4HANA 2025 system, SETA AI today determines and posts the scenarios tax teams know as the hard ones: commodity-driven rates — different products, one generic tax code, each taxed at the standard or reduced rate because the engine classified its commodity code into the correct tax category; customer-specific treatments such as VAT groups; intra-EU supplies and cross-border B2B services carrying the correct foreign VAT registration on the invoice; drop-ship scenarios; and reverse-charge purchases. All through one pair of generic tax codes, with zero customization in SAP — the full flexibility of your old custom logic, with none of the custom code, and the reasoning behind every decision on record.
AI-proposed content with legal citations and confidence — nothing goes live without human approval.
Security by design

A tax engine becomes a system of record. We built it to be operated like one.

Your own tenant

A dedicated instance per customer in SAP's cloud, in the region you choose — nothing shared, nothing co-mingled.

SAP's own security model

Every call from S/4HANA is authenticated with OAuth 2.0 over TLS through SAP's delivered communication scenario. No inbound connection to your landscape, ever.

No AI on the determination path

Tax is determined by a deterministic engine from approved content: the same input gives the same answer every time, with the reasoning on record.

AI where it helps, under approval

AI drafts content from cited legal sources, classifies products and answers questions — and nothing it produces is used until a tax professional approves it.

Your data stays yours

What reaches the AI provider is the minimum a task needs. It is never used to train models, and your content never leaves your tenant for anyone else's benefit.

Operated like a system of record

Named roles with four-eyes approval, every change documented, every credential rotatable without downtime, your logs exportable and your data deleted on termination — in writing.

Getting started

Ready when you are.

SETA AI is ready to run in your landscape. We start where you are, and we prove it before anything reaches production.

1

See it

A working session on your hardest scenarios, on our demonstration system.

2

Scope it

Your countries, your company codes, the scenarios your tax team wants to see.

3

Prove it in your sandbox

The connection and the configuration set up for exactly that scope; every scenario posted end to end and signed off by your tax team.

4

Go live, country by country

Beside what you run today, at your pace.

And nothing you rely on today changes. SETA is added beside your existing tax setup, never on top of it: your tax codes, your historic documents and your VAT reporting keep running exactly as before — before, during and after the transition.
