New Standard Field for Order Numbers – Also for E-Invoices.

MOCO now provides the order number as a standard field, meeting the requirements for E-Invoices. This field can be filled or edited in both the project and the invoice. If you already use a custom field for this information on the invoice, you can easily transfer it with a click upon activation.

The Order Number

As a service provider, you typically include an order number on the invoice when a client requests it for internal reference. For E-Invoices, the BT-13 field transfers this order number as a structured optional data field.

New Standard Field in MOCO

In light of the upcoming B2B E-Invoicing mandate in Germany, MOCO now offers a standard field for the order number. You can activate and use this generally regardless of E-Invoices. 

In the context of E-Invoices, this is referred to as the order number. However, you can also use other common terms such as Order (aligning with MOCO's existing naming conventions) or PO (short for Purchase Order Number – an international term commonly used by corporations).

Benefits

Fill in the Order Number in the Project & on the Invoice
The field is available for completion when creating or editing a project, as well as on the invoice. If a number is already recorded in the project, it will be pre-filled for the project invoice.

For client-level invoices without a project or across multiple projects, MOCO cannot pre-fill a number. Use the Invoicing Info – with this, you can directly copy-paste the number during invoicing.

Indication on Swiss QR Invoices
For Swiss QR invoices, the order number is provided as a client reference.

New Column in Invoice Export
The order number is saved directly to the invoice and included in the invoice export.

Activate Order Number 

Activation is sensible for all accounts that generally use an order number as an invoice reference.

Activate the field in the settings under "Account" > "Custom Fields" (1). If E-Invoices are activated, you will see the "BT-13" designation in the edit mode of the project and invoice after activation (3)

Adopt Existing Field with All Details

If you already use a custom field for the order number, we clearly recommend adopting it to avoid duplicate fields.

Select the field upon activation. MOCO offers all fields of the "Single Line Input" type at the project and invoice level (2). With selection and confirmation, all details are adopted, and the previous field is deleted.
