Why did my Sage invoiced total suddenly jump?
The Sage help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: Copying an invoice saves a new invoice with the same details, so the same work can end up invoiced twice if the copy was not meant to be kept.
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 Sage help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.
What causes it?
Copying an invoice saves a new invoice with the same details, so the same work can end up invoiced twice if the copy was not meant to be kept.
In the Sage help:
A copied invoice uses the existing sales invoice details, but defaults Invoice Date and Due Date.
Copy a sales invoice, read 2026-11-12.A new recurring invoice can create its first invoice the same day it is set up, which can add to an invoice already raised by hand for that customer.
In the Sage help:
If the Starting date is today and the Frequency is also today, then an invoice will be created immediately
Set up a recurring sales invoice, read 2026-11-12.When several recurring invoices are set for the last day of the month, they all land on that one day, so a month end jump can be expected.
In the Sage help:
Choose Last to create invoices on the last day of each month.
Set up a recurring sales invoice, read 2026-11-12.
How do I check it myself?
Look through your sales invoices for the day of the jump for two invoices with the same customer and amount.
In the Sage help:
The Sales Invoices tab shows every invoice you enter, including the invoice date, customer, amount, and status.
The sales list, read 2026-11-12.Look at the schedule of any recurring invoice set up around the day of the jump, to see when it creates invoices.
In the Sage help:
Check the schedule is correct before you save.
Set up a recurring sales invoice, read 2026-11-12.
How would I know the day it starts?
- Feder reads the amount you invoiced in Sage 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 Sage, which feeds Money. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Sage.
