Global Pay Run - Create Spend Money transactions
When posting a pay run, Xero should automatically create spend money transactions with all relevant details and links to the pay run.
Currently, this is done manually by creating spend money transactions for each transaction and there is no link to the payslip.
This will save a lot of time in reconciling a pay run and improve the connectivity within Xero.

Hi community, you might've heard that we’re making changes to Global Pay Run to help you manage your payroll more effectively;
- From 23 July 2025 Global Pay Run will become read-only. You'll still be able to see all your past payroll information, however you will not be able to process any new pay runs after this date.
- Global Pay run will be retired after April 2026, at which point you'll no longer be able to access pay run.
Considering that we'll retire this feature we want to front-foot that we have no plans (as requested in this idea) to develop Global Pay Run.
If you're in AU, UK or NZ there's our Xero Payroll product that's been specifically tailored to your regions unique requirements. Find out more about the pricing plans this is available through on xero.com, or connect with specialists if you need a hand. Alternatively, there are multiple payroll app partners that integrate with Xero and you can review through our Xero app store - just make sure you select your region at the top of the page.

Totally agree with this idea. Not sure why this doesn't happen already. It should be an automatic flow on.

Why does xero not automatically make a spend money for wages when a pay run is posted/filed?
I like to have transactions entered, and use the bank feed reconcile as just that... I like to see green, also because I am not the only one at the business who does this and the less room for error the better!
