From customer enquiry to payment
Motorica connects the key stages for measurements, materials, working time, construction sites and advance invoices. This keeps it clear what was agreed, completed, invoiced and paid.
- Create the customer and the product or service line item
- Prepare a quote with traceable line items
- Turn the confirmed quote into an invoice
- Send the invoice and follow its status
- Recognise the payment through bank transaction reconciliation
Quotes with clear services and prices
For service line items, material use, partial invoices and warranties, you can record clear line items, quantities, prices and notes. This provides clarity for private customers, businesses and public-sector clients and a sound basis for the later invoice.
- Reusable product or service line items
- Clear price and tax information
- Individual notes and service periods
- Professional quote PDFs
Invoices without retyping the same data
Once a quote has been accepted, it can be turned into an invoice in just a few clicks. Customer, line-item and price data are carried over, which reduces transfer errors and speeds up billing.
- Continue from quote to invoice
- Maintain required invoice details in a structured way
- Generate PDFs and structured e-invoices
- Keep the unpaid amount visible after sending
Your own logo and document backgrounds
Quotes and invoices should match the way your business presents itself. In Motorica, you can use your own logo, upload backgrounds for quotes and invoices, or choose an existing template.
- Company logo on business documents
- Custom PNG backgrounds for documents
- Existing background templates to choose from
- A consistent appearance from quote to invoice
E-invoices and XRechnung
An e-invoice contains structured data and is more than a simple PDF. Motorica supports XRechnung so businesses can better meet B2B requirements and, depending on the order, B2G requirements.
- XRechnung as a structured XML format
- ZUGFeRD with a visible PDF and embedded invoice data
- Invoice data prepared for electronic processing
- Routing ID (Leitweg-ID) for suitable public-sector invoices
Bank transaction reconciliation and unpaid invoices
Motorica compares incoming bank payments with unpaid invoices. When the relevant details match, the payment status is updated; unclear payments remain visible for review.
- Less manual checking in online banking
- Paid, unpaid and overdue invoices kept separate
- Exceptions and partial payments available for targeted review
- A faster view of current liquidity
Record accounting documents and expenses in order
Incoming invoices, till receipts and ongoing expenses belong to the accounting basis of the business. A structured filing system makes follow-up questions and cooperation with the tax adviser easier.
- Collect accounting documents and receipts digitally
- Assign expenses in a traceable way
- Find documents again from one place
- Create a basis for reporting and tax data preparation
Prepare EÜR data for self-employed providers and small businesses
The income-surplus statement (EÜR) compares operating income with operating expenses. Motorica brings invoices, payments and accounting documents together so the relevant values can be reviewed and prepared for Anlage EÜR.
- Trace income from invoices
- Structure business expenses from accounting documents and receipts
- Check periods and categories
- Continue working with reviewed EÜR data
VAT advance return, UStVA and ELSTER
Motorica helps structure tax-relevant revenue and input tax amounts for the VAT advance return (UStVA). The data is prepared for review, export and further processing in the ELSTER or tax-adviser workflow; Motorica does not replace tax advice.
- Organise revenue by tax rate
- Prepare input tax from incoming accounting documents
- Check plausible totals before submission
- Prepare the XML and ELSTER workflow in a controlled way
DATEV export for the tax adviser
Instead of collecting documents and lists again at month end, accounting data can be prepared in a structured form for DATEV and the tax adviser. This reduces follow-up questions and manual transfers between systems.
- Bundle invoice and posting data
- Match accounting documents in a traceable way
- DATEV and CSV export for further processing
- Simpler coordination with the tax adviser's office
MIRA AI explains documents, deadlines and administrative German
MIRA analyses uploaded documents, explains difficult content in understandable language and highlights detected deadlines or next steps. Multilingual support helps international teams with German administrative and financial correspondence.
- Summarise documents

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about invoicing software for photovoltaic businesses
Can I create an invoice directly from a quote?
Yes. Customer, line-item and price data can be carried over from the quote into the invoice. That reduces retyping and helps prevent transfer errors.
Does Motorica support e-invoices?
Yes. Motorica supports structured e-invoices in the XRechnung format. A simple PDF alone is not a structured e-invoice.
When do I need XRechnung?
XRechnung is especially relevant for invoices to public-sector customers. Depending on the authority and order, details such as a routing ID (Leitweg-ID) may be required.
How does automatic bank transaction reconciliation work?
Motorica compares incoming payments with unpaid invoices. If the relevant details match, the invoice status is updated; unclear payments remain visible for review.
Does Motorica help with EÜR and VAT advance returns?
Motorica structures income, expenses, revenue and input tax for EÜR and VAT advance return (UStVA) preparation. Before submission, the values should be checked or coordinated with your tax adviser.
Can I prepare data for ELSTER?
Yes. Motorica prepares relevant UStVA data for review and export in the ELSTER workflow. The final transmission depends on the activated integration and your tax process.
Is there a DATEV export?
Motorica can prepare accounting data for DATEV or as structured export data for further processing by your tax adviser.
Can I customise the logo and invoice background?
Yes. You can use your company logo and upload your own document backgrounds, or choose an existing template for quotes and invoices.
What does MIRA AI do?
MIRA analyses documents, explains difficult content in understandable language and structures detected deadlines or next steps. This is especially useful for administrative and financial correspondence in German.
Can I see paid, unpaid and overdue invoices separately?
Yes. Invoice status and bank transaction reconciliation help you distinguish paid, unpaid and overdue invoices more quickly.
Does Motorica replace tax advice?
No. Motorica organises data and prepares workflows, but it does not provide individual tax advice. For specific tax questions, involve a tax adviser.
