AU Payroll - Add a separate lock date for payroll

AUSTRALIA PAYROLL - Can we PLEASE have a separate Lock Date for Payroll. I have had many incidents where I have prepared an Activity Statement ( PAYG), and the client reverts a pay run to draft, makes a change AFTER THE ENDOF MONTH AND IAS CREATION, and then we have to re-calculate and re-submit IAS for signature.

The lock date is unable to be added as the ACCOUNTS are still being reconciled, but the payroll is complete.

This will also be extremely helpful at EOFY.

    Given we're about to have EOFY here in Australia, it would be useful to lock the payroll after we've finalised STP, so that anyone who unlocks it to do anything has that extra step to remind them that they have to lodge an amended STP finalisation and notify the employee(s).

    @Jenny Draper I've had a client do this. I made them sign off on Every Single Thing I had to amend, and pay me for the privilege, and they've chosen to ask me to do anything even slightly out of the ordinary with regards to payroll ever since. Apparently I got a bit scary?
