Why did my Accelo invoiced total suddenly jump?

The Accelo help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: Invoices for many clients are often raised together at the end of a billing cycle, so that day can be much bigger than an ordinary day.

Money · Is money moving the way it should?

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?

  1. Invoices for many clients are often raised together at the end of a billing cycle, so that day can be much bigger than an ordinary day.

    In the Accelo help: at the end of a billing cycle Create Bulk Invoices Guide, read 2026-11-12.

  2. A project invoiced for its whole remaining budget puts everything not yet billed on one invoice.

    In the Accelo help: Invoice for the entire remaining amount of the Budget you have yet to invoice. Project Invoicing Guide, read 2026-11-12.

  3. A project invoiced as a share of its budget is billed from the budget, not the time logged, so the invoice can be larger than the work logged so far.

    In the Accelo help: This disregards any logged activities/rates, and just bills directly off the budget you supplied the Project. Project Invoicing Guide, read 2026-11-12.

How do I check it myself?

  1. Check the raised date on invoices around the jump: invoices made together usually share the day they were made unless someone changed it.

    In the Accelo help: This will default to the current date, but can be edited to a future date if necessary. Create Bulk Invoices Guide, read 2026-11-12.

  2. Look at which dates of logged work a large invoice took in, since work from earlier periods can be billed together.

    In the Accelo help: Choose to show only work that has been logged before a specific date. Project Invoicing Guide, read 2026-11-12.

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 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.

Where do these answers come from?
