Reconciliation - Automatically recognise & match payroll transactions
When reconciling bank transactions,
It would be great if payroll transactions offered an automatic reconciliation in the same way that a batch payment of bills gives an auto option.

Hey community, thanks for your continued interest and feedback on this idea.
Right now, you can set up bank rules to code future payroll payments, or turn on Suggest previous entries so that Xero suggests a transaction each time.
If there's any future changes we will let you know on the thread here. Thanks

Hi, I just submitted a case explaning this, it does not make sense to create all the employees again in a new transaction everytime I need to reconcile payroll payments. Xero already knows who were paid and what amount of money each one, this should be an automated transaction that allows us to reconcile easily.
How are the big companies reconciling this transactions? I just paid 10 peorple and I had to create 10 transactions individually to match the total amount. I believe Xero already have the tools and techonology to make this real. Please help us with that.
Thanks.

This is payroll and bookkeeping suggestion.
It would be good that once the spend money to pay the employee comes out of the bank account, Xero recognises this to the net pay in the pay run and matches this where it's meant to go. The same with the P32 liability - once the tax has been paid to HMRC and appears in the bank reconciliation page, Xero recognises that this payment matches the month's liability.
I know that there are bank rules that can be created to do this, but it's good to check that the employee has been paid the correct amount to the pay run (so the reconciliation line goes green in the reconciliation page).
