MOCO + XRechnung (D)

In Germany, following EU directives, E-Invoicing will become mandatory for B2B companies starting in 2025. MOCO will be able to receive and process E-Invoices from January 1, 2025. Creation & dispatch will follow thereafter.
More information and introduction plan.

Since 2020, the XRechnung format has been specified for creating and sending an E-Invoice to federal clients. The XRechnung can be generated and transmitted either via the official federal internet platform or independently through software. Due to the low demand from MOCO clients and the complexity of implementation, creation in 2024 will still be through an integration with Faktoora. With the official introduction of the B2B E-Invoicing obligation, "the cards will be reshuffled."
Information on B2B obligation.

The XRechnung presents invoice contents – instead of on paper or as an image file like a PDF – in a structured, machine-readable XML dataset. This facilitates automatic processing.

Since the end of 2020, invoices in Germany to federal clients exceeding 1000 EUR must be submitted digitally in the new eInvoicing format XRechnung through the “Central Invoice Entry Platform” of the federal government (ZRE).

a) Manual Entry via Platform
The E-Invoicing platform offers the ability to create E-Invoices via a web form, submit already created E-Invoices, or view the processing status of submitted E-Invoices.

b) Use Integration and Create Directly in MOCO
With the Faktoora integration, you can create XRechnungen for public clients directly from MOCO. This option is ideal if you regularly need to create many of these invoices.
