MOCO + XInvoice to Authorities (D)

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 XInvoice format.

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

The federal e-invoicing platform allows you to create e-invoices using a web form, submit already created e-invoices, or check the processing status of your submitted e-invoices.

Due to the previously low demand from MOCO clients regarding 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."

For now:
Use integration and create directly in MOCO
With the Faktoora integration, you can create XInvoices for public clients directly from MOCO. This option is suitable if you need to create many of these invoices regularly.

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

You must first create an account with Faktoora (paid) and request the activation of the feature via MOCO's in-app support. The feature will then be available in MOCO:

1. Activate the option in MOCO (Settings > Extensions > XInvoice > Enter details) (1)
2. Activate for the relevant client (checkbox in the form under "Additional Options") (2)
3. Enter relevant details in the "XInvoice" client tab that appears. (3)

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

Any project-related order numbers or a contact person (not mandatory for all recipients) should be entered 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 it's readily available later.
