Record Expenditures
Workflow | Capture | Multiple Positions | Fixed Costs | E-InvoicesWorkflow
In MOCO's central digital invoice reception, all company expenditures with receipts are collected.
The recorded expenditures are reviewed and processed. Completed expenditures are moved to the archive and then exported for accounting. Additionally, you can plan your expenditures.

Expenditures can be recorded directly or automatically. Use AI-based automatic text recognition (OCR) for many receipts. Expenditure data can be extended with custom fields as needed.
Forward incoming PDF invoice receipts directly to the Email-to-Inbox address or set this email address directly with the services. You can find this address in the settings under "Expenditures".
➜ The long string ensures that the address cannot be misused by spammers.
➜ Save the address as an email contact "Receipts to MOCO" so it can be easily accessed.
➜ Store inbox address with services: If you can set the invoice address with subscription services (like MOCO), enter the inbox address provided by MOCO.
➜ Option for own email address: An automatic forwarding from your own email address to the MOCO address can be set up with your email provider. To avoid unwanted items landing in the invoice inbox, we recommend choosing a specific invoice entry email address that is not easily guessable from the outside. This address can then be communicated to specific suppliers.

Batch Upload
Upload multiple receipts at once (PDF, JPG, or PNG) collectively via the upload icon at the top right
Tip: Digital and paper-based invoice documents have been legally equivalent for years – yet many paper invoices still arrive. Inform existing and new suppliers of the preference for sending an invoice PDF via email to the invoice inbox. This generally allows invoices to be paid more quickly, which is also beneficial for suppliers.

Duplicate Detection
MOCO detects duplicate uploaded receipts and indicates this.
Multiple Positions
An expenditure can consist of multiple positions. Each position can be assigned to a different project and expense account.
Normally, an expenditure is recorded with one position. For different tax rates or if you want to assign different positions to different projects, multiple positions can also be recorded within the expenditure. Use the "+New Position" button for this.

Fixed Costs
Settings > Expenditures > Fixed Costs
In addition to the recorded vouchers in the "Expenditures" section, you enter the fixed costs here.
Fixed costs are, for example, expenditures such as rent, wages, bank fees – all expenditures for which there is no incoming invoice and which are booked differently in accounting. Regular billings such as mobile phone bills are not meant by this – they are recorded as an incoming invoice.

E-Invoices
In the EU, e-invoices are becoming mandatory for B2B companies. Germany is planning a phased introduction. Starting January 1, 2025, e-invoices must be receivable. We've summarized what e-invoices are, why this mandate exists, and the implementation plan for you here: E-Invoice Mandate for B2B and Implementation Plan.
As a MOCO user, you don't need to worry about anything. The invoice reception will be implemented according to the mandate requirements and will not feel much different from receiving other formats as you do now.
