E-invoices, XRechnung and ZUGFeRD

- ZUGFeRD with a visible PDF and embedded data
- Invoice data for electronic processing

- Organize sales by tax rates
- Prepare input VAT from incoming accounting documents and receipts
- Check plausible totals before submission
- Connecting the XML/ELSTER process in a controlled manner
DATEV export for tax consulting

- Bundle invoice and booking data
- Assign accounting documents and receipts in a traceable way
- DATEV/CSV export for further processing

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about invoicing software for graphic designers
Can I create an invoice directly from a quote?
Yes. Customer, item and price data can be transferred from the quotation to the invoice. This saves retyping and reduces transcription errors.
Does Motorica support e-invoices?
Yes. Motorica supports structured e-invoices in formats such as XRechnung and ZUGFeRD. A simple PDF alone is not a structured e-invoice.
When do I need an XRechnung?
XRechnung is particularly relevant for invoices to public clients. Depending on the authority and order, additional information such as a route ID may be required.
How does automatic bank transaction reconciliation work?
Motorica compares incoming payments with unpaid invoices. If the relevant details match, the status is updated; unclear payments remain visible for review.
Does Motorica help with EÜR and the VAT advance return?
Motorica structures income, expenses, sales and input VAT for preparing EÜR and UStVA. Before submission, the figures should be reviewed or coordinated with your tax adviser.
Can I prepare data for ELSTER?
Yes. Motorica prepares relevant UStVA data for review and export within the ELSTER process. The actual submission depends on the enabled integration and your tax workflow.
Is there a DATEV export?
Motorica can prepare accounting data for DATEV or as structured export data for further processing by the tax office.
Can I customize the logo and invoice background?
Yes. You can use your company logo and upload your own document backgrounds or select an existing template for quotes and invoices.
What does MIRA AI do?
MIRA analyzes documents, explains difficult content in clear language, and structures identified deadlines or next steps. This is particularly helpful for correspondence from public authorities and financial institutions.
Are open and paid invoices visible separately?
Yes. Invoice status and bank reconciliation help to distinguish paid, open and overdue receivables more quickly.
Does Motorica replace a tax adviser?
No. Motorica organizes data and prepares processes, but does not provide individual tax advice. For specific tax questions, a tax advisory firm should be consulted.
