Payroll Journals
Allow facility to turn off payroll journals so they aren't automatically posted into the accounts.
Problem: Business which operates in departments and wants COS payroll journals and overhead journals. Unable to split out the NICS/PAYE through payroll, meaning the auto postings have to be reversed every month and new ones created to allow the split of costs into the P&L.
Ideal solution: Allow Xero payroll to split NICS/TAX/Pension costs into ledgers by departments which will negate the need to reverse the auto journals and create manual ones.

100% agree. I work with Charities and every single one of them needs to split out salaries between the 2 tracking categories for Activity and Funding, and individual salary splits between different activities as well.
The ability to turn off posting the journal would really help so that only the manual journal needs to be posted. Of course, allowing it in the payroll functions would work, but just the ability to switch the journals off would be great for now.

After many conversations there is no way of reversing previous months journals!

I agree 100% with Grace Lee, XERO Payroll has doubled my work load because of its inability to allocate costs where i want them. I truly regret introducing XERO Payroll too. I have switched to Moneysoft's Payroll Manager which is brilliantly simple to use and when you are stuck you can ring up and speak to a real Person.

I agree 100%. Xero auto payroll journals bring me more works not less.
In our company's cases, some departments are allocated under COS and other departments are allocated under overheads in P&L.However, with current Xero payroll, we can't distinguish the expenses and liabilities by departments as per our finance reporting model.
Honestly, I regret introducing Xero payroll to our finance team currently. It's much more uncomfortable to use and the auto payroll journal is useless..
Did you find a way to reverse the auto journal by the way?
