MOCO + XRechnung to Authorities (DE)

In Germany, following EU guidelines, e-invoicing will gradually 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. 

Since the end of 2020, invoices in Germany to federal clients exceeding 1000 EUR must be submitted digitally in the XRechnung format.

For creating and sending an e-invoice to the federal government, the XRechnung format has been prescribed since 2020. The XRechnung can either be generated and submitted via the official federal internet platform or independently through software. 

The federal e-invoicing platform offers you the ability to create e-invoices via a web form, submit already created e-invoices, or view the processing status of your submitted e-invoices.

Due to the previously low demand from MOCO clients for government invoices, an integration with Faktoora was implemented at the introduction. With the official introduction of the e-invoicing requirement for B2B, "the cards are being reshuffled."

Initially:
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 need to create many such invoices regularly.

Coming soon:
Creation will be possible directly in MOCO without third-party providers
With the e-invoicing requirement in the B2B sector, MOCO will also implement the XRechnung format. You will then be able to create XRechnungen directly in MOCO without third-party providers or Faktoora integration.
