AU Payroll - Detailed pay run journal report

A detailed pay run journal report would be much more useful than the current summary version. It is especially unhelpful that selecting the entry in an expense account just takes you to the pay run - it doesn't show you what is coded to which expense account. With many employees this can take a long time to find errors or to manually journal multiple costings

Hey community, 👋 thanks for all your support on this idea, I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered! 

Last year, we rolled out support for the new journal reports 🎉 These can be filtered by account and account code or even the description.

For more information check out our support article on our new Journal reports here.

Thanks again for your feedback. We know this has been a highly anticipated feature for the community and we appreciate your contributions.

    Previously submitted, marked as delivered. It is not delivered. It is still just a summary.

    Totally agree with sentiments here, this lack of functionality is a serious and obvious flaw in eth system, please fix...

  • Peter Miles commented  ·   ·  Report

    It is a major flaw not to be able to follow entries through from the payroll to the GL.
    It is essential to understand what items/employees are ending up in a particular GL, especially when trying to track an anomaly.
    Going straight back to the payrun is of no use whatsoever.
    Not to be able to explain postings to the GL is not acceptable.
    The data must exist for the system to be able to make the entries, it just needs to be visible, even if just to payroll administrators.

    When reviewing a large payroll file there is currently no report to run that will extract the linked GL account code to each Pay Item.
    When dealing with Departmental, Clinic or Location based clients we need a simple way to review these Pay Items to ensure they are set up correctly, flowing directly to the correct Departments codes for Departmental Profit and Loss Reporting. We should not have to process Journals after wages have been processed to correct these costs.
    Rather than having to physically enter into each Pay Item to review or locate, why can we not simply pull a quick report to review this.
    With all the STP changes I have noted changes with in the GL coding's that should not be happening and there is no easy way to check these.
    Departmental/Clinic wages are time consuming enough, come on xero lets make these payroll reviews and functions simpler!

    Xero Payroll Journal report - report that clearly shows what postings have been made by the payroll system into the accounts (as opposed to having to dig through the manual journals report which may have other journals mixed in that day)
