At the moment, if an employee allocates their hours to the wrong cost centre (i.e. the incorrect Xero tracking category) and the payroll has already been posted, there’s no way to correct the allocation — even if the pay run hasn’t yet been submitted to the ATO.

This becomes problematic for organisations like ours that rely on accurate tracking of labour costs by project or cost centre. In most cases, the number of hours worked remains correct — it’s just the cost centre allocation that needs fixing.

Would it be possible to introduce a feature that allows tracking categories to be edited after payroll is posted but before it’s submitted to the ATO? This would ensure better cost reporting without affecting the integrity of the pay run or submitted data.
