Idea - Correct information on Payroll reports
Every time I process a payroll (hundreds every year), I produce the Payroll reports to send to the client.
The Payroll Activity Details Report AND THE Payroll Employee Summary shows the INCORRECT details in the heading. For example The report reads: "For the period 17 November 2025 to 17 November 2025". THIS IS NOT CORRECT, and it wastes HOURS having to change it every single time.
The Report is for the Processed Pay Period just completed!!!
Can we have this corrected to the pay period when this report is directly created from a payroll run??? the date for Example SHOULD be "For the period 10 November 2025 to 17 November 2025" - the payweek!!
Or can we just delete this incorrect, and confusing line. I send hundred of these out and waste hundreds of hours changing this line.
Similarly, on the "Payroll Activity Details" Report it also has the payment date randomly after every employees name, and NO DETAIL or explanation what this date is for, and it is insanely confusing for clients.
Again I spend hours just removing this date from the reports.
If Xero feels they HAVETO have a date at least make it correct and have "payment date" on the report.
The pay period date, the payment date and the report date are 3 wholly different days.
Please can you fix these issues and stop making other not-needed changes. Please
Jenny Draper
