Why doesn't my Accelo invoice total match what I expected?
The Accelo help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: Each line's total comes from its amount and the tax code chosen for it, so a different tax code gives a different total.
Is it broken, or just quiet?
A number can fall because fewer people came, or because something stopped counting them. Below are the causes the Accelo help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.
What causes it?
Each line's total comes from its amount and the tax code chosen for it, so a different tax code gives a different total.
In the Accelo help:
The line item total is calculated based on the amount and the Tax Code that you select.
Client Invoicing Guide, read 2026-11-12.If your accounting system ties tax codes to ledger codes, picking a ledger code can pick its tax code for you, which can change the total.
In the Accelo help:
If this is the case, then when you select an imported ledger code, the tax code will automatically be selected.
Tax Codes Guide, read 2026-11-12.Hours and rates can be edited on the invoice, so the amount billed can differ from the work as it was logged.
In the Accelo help:
Edit the rate at which those hours should be billed.

How do I check it myself?
Before saving an invoice, look over its tax codes and totals.
In the Accelo help:
After reviewing all Details, Settings, Line items, and Expenses, review the Tax Codes and Totals.
Client Invoicing Guide, read 2026-11-12.Accelo does not let you change a tax percentage on the invoice itself, so a rate that looks wrong points to the tax code chosen.
In the Accelo help:
Note that you can't change the tax percentage from this interface.

How would I know the day it starts?
- Feder reads the amount you invoiced in Accelo each day and compares each day with your own history.
- It does not read your tax settings. It tells you when invoicing goes quiet or moves outside its usual range.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
See what Feder reads from Accelo, which feeds Money. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Accelo.
