Payroll - Set Payment Date for Unscheduled pay run
Unscheduled pay run - most of my unscheduled pay runs are paid on the day of creation.
It would be good to be able to change the payment date to the actual date of payment instead of the date selected by the unscheduled pay run.
E.g. unscheduled pay run for the week ending 13th Aug has a payment date of 16th Aug yet payment may have been made on 18th Sep.

We often run Unscheduled payrolls for late Timesheet hours, sometimes days or weeks later. Would like the payment date to default to Today - as seems pointless it defaulting to a date past when filing is no longer possible and only causes the headache of late filing penalties!

Why does XERO autofill the "payment date" to some weird date? Eg: I'm paying wages today (4 June 2024) and Xero autofills the payment date to 18 May 2024. If I didn't pick on this then IRD would fine us $250 for late filing and payment (trust me I've been burnt twice on this very issue). Xero should not autofill the payment date but leave it blank for us to fill in.

You can find instructions on how to do this as an aside in the instructions on how to adjust previous payroll payments, as step 7 under 'create an unscheduled pay run'. https://central.xero.com/s/article/Adjust-previous-payroll-payments-AU
Click the blue "Payment Date" above the automatically-generated payment date, and it'll bring up a window where you can change the date of payment to match reality.
(Side note: the only indicator that this is a link is the colour. This makes it useless for some colourblind people, and not Accessible)
