UK Payroll - Automatically detect payroll payments during reconciliation
Payroll/Wages Payable Reconciliation
It is quiet difficult in Xero to find out wages payable error done because there is no system of matching wages payment with the payroll journal at the transaction allocation stage.
e.g. as we get the suggestions to allocate a payment received against an invoice, it should be similar with the wages.
If there is any over/under payment it will be detected at the transaction allocation stage as there won't be any matching payroll transaction existing. This feature is there in MYOB. This is the only reason where I find MYOB better than Xero.
Sometimes client does a couple of wage payment errors during the year. Its so hard to detect until you pull out a wages payable spreadsheet and then match each week. Extremely time consuming!
