Invoice Inbox Email Address
MOCO provides an account-specific, non-guessable email address. Emails sent to this address are captured as a purchase draft in the Invoice Inbox. More information on how it works.
For security reasons, the email address is not a trivial address that can be easily guessed.

➜ Save it as a contact in your email client and use it for forwarding incoming invoices.
➜ If needed, you can set up automatic forwarding from a custom email address, for example, "rechnungen@meinefirma.de".

Automatically Request Approval
In MOCO, you can have invoices approved individually, or use the automation defined here to specify the amount from which purchases must be approved by a specific person. MOCO will then request approval automatically.
Use Cases – When multiple people or thresholds can make sense
- Cover: if the first person is unavailable, the second person can approve.
- Division of responsibilities: more than one person can be responsible for approvals and share the workload – and approvals are granted more quickly.
- Execution & monitoring: you can define one person who grants approvals and a second person who is only informed.
- Approval levels: with two thresholds, you can also map two approval processes, for example, a low-level approval via the back office and a high-level approval via management.
Payment Orders
Tick the box if you want batch payments.
The expected date of the batch payment is shown when creating the payment order.
A batch payment is always executed on the earliest possible date. An individual payment without a target date (Payable by) – or a batch payment where at least one target date is missing – is executed immediately.

Defaults for Project Allocation
The purchase, or line items from it, can be allocated to projects for cost tracking and recharging. Here in the settings, you can define defaults for this – for example, whether a general mark-up should be applied.
The default "Rechargeable & In Budget" can be predefined in Settings > Projects.

Fixed Costs
Settings > Expenditures > Fixed Costs
In addition to recording invoices under "Expenditures," you can document fixed costs here.
Fixed costs include expenditures such as rent, wages, and bank fees – all expenses for which there is no incoming invoice and are recorded differently in accounting. Regular invoicing like mobile phone subscriptions are not included here – these are recorded as incoming invoices.

Planned expenditures guide financial reports and allow you to match incoming invoices precisely.
(English image not yet available)Enable planned expenditures in the settings if you wish to plan expenditures/liquidity with MOCO. This feature also allows you to match incoming invoices.

Personal expenses
Settings > Expenditures > Personal expenses
Once activated, all users can record outlays, travel expenses, and daily allowances under "Personal expenses" in their profile.
(English image not yet available)Overview of the Workflow
The employee records receipts or allowances (in their profile, via MobileApp, or by email) and submits an expense report. The person responsible for their expenses is notified, reviews the receipts, and approves or rejects them. Upon approval, the expense report is converted into a company expenditure.
Detailed information on the expense workflow
If the person recording expenses should also be able to select a category (with an associated expense account), ensure that previously defined categories are marked as relevant for expenses in the settings.
KSK Evaluation (EN)
Once activated, you can mark and evaluate incoming invoice items for KSK.
In Germany, companies that use the services of freelance artists or publicists are required to pay a levy to the Künstlersozialkasse. The amount is based on the fee and is 5%.
Activate Option
German MOCO accounts can now activate the option in Settings > Expenditures > General.
