UK Payroll: Run reports on draft pay runs
To allow the payroll team to run reports to runs checks on the payroll before submitting the payroll. This would avoid sending numerous automatic FPS reports to HMRC.

UK Payroll: Pre-posting report required in the same format as the Gross to Net report. As there is now an issue with amending a payroll after you've posted it, but before pay day, this report is now essential as many of us send payroll reports to clients for authorisation or perhaps employees spot an error on their pay and want it fixed in time for pay day. When resubmitting an FPS prior to payday, this might cause duplicate files. If that's the case then we need a similar report to the Gross to Net but in pre-post mode.

"We recommend that you keep your pay run in draft until the payment date and you’ve finalised all your payroll details.
This is because HMRC are aware of issues with duplications if pay runs are reverted before the payment date of the pay run has passed."
Well, who knew?! With this in mind, the gross to net report can only be produced after posting the payroll. But if, like me, you want to send clients a copy of the gross to net so that they can make payments on or before pay day, it looks as though this is NOT recommended by Xero. Yet no other report is available in a decent layout. Come on, Xero, get this issue fixed. Other software providers don't seem to have any problems!
