MOCO + XRechnung (DE)

In Germany, following EU guidelines, E-Invoicing will be 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 implementation plan.

Since 2020, the XRechnung format has been required 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 through your own software. Due to the low demand from MOCO clients and the complexity of implementation, the creation will still run through an integration with Faktoora in 2024. With the official introduction of the E-Invoicing requirement for B2B, "the game will change." Information on the B2B requirement.

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

Since the end of 2020, invoices in Germany to federal clients with an amount over 1000 EUR must be submitted digitally in the new eInvoice format XRechnung via the “Central Invoice Submission Platform” of the federal government (ZRE).

a) Manual Entry via Platform
The E-Invoicing platform offers the possibility 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 suitable if you need to create many such invoices regularly.

1. Create an account at Faktoora (paid)
2. Activate the option in MOCO (Settings > Extensions > XRechnung > Enter details) (1)
3. Activate for the relevant client (checkbox in the form under "Additional Options") (2)
4. Enter relevant details in the "XRechnung" tab that appears for the client. (3)

4. A new "XRechnung" button will appear at the top right of each invoice (4). Use this to download the XRechnung and send it via your email program.

Enter any project-related order numbers or a contact person (not mandatory for all recipients) during the download query. It is best to enter the required information from the recipient in advance on the invoicing page under "Invoicing Info" so that it is handy later.
