XRechnungen to Federal Clients
Since the end of 2020, invoices in Germany to federal clients over 1000 EUR must be submitted digitally in the XRechnung format.
Option 1: Invoicing via Federal Platform
For creating and sending an e-invoice to the federal government, the XRechnung format has been mandatory since 2020. The XRechnung can be generated and transmitted either through the official federal internet platform or independently via software.
The federal e-invoicing platform allows you to create e-invoices via a web form, submit already created e-invoices, or check the processing status of your submitted e-invoices.

Option 2: Create Invoices for Federal Clients Directly from MOCO via Faktoora
With the integration of Faktoora, you can create XRechnungen for public clients directly from MOCO. This option is ideal if you need to create many of these invoices regularly.
Set Up Faktoora Integration
First, you need to create an account with Faktoora (paid) and request the activation of the function via MOCO's in-app support. Once activated, the function is available in MOCO:
1. Activate the option in MOCO (Settings > Extensions > XRechnung > Enter details) (1)
2. Activate for the relevant client (checkbox in the form under "Additional Options") (2)
3. Enter relevant details in the "XRechnung" client tab that appears. (3)

How to Create an Individual XRechnung
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.
Capture any project-related order numbers or a contact person (not mandatory for all recipients) during the download query. It's best to enter the information required by the recipient in advance on the invoicing page under "Invoicing Info" so that it's readily available later.
