AU Payroll - Schedule superannuation payments
Add in ability to forward date when a superannuation payment is processed. I would like to submit the authority when I review the monthly super but have the payment not made until it is actually due, which would be a date in the future that I enter.

Hi there. With Payday Super changes coming soon, we know many of you will be thinking about how the new super payment timing will work for your business. It’s something we’re keeping a close eye on too.
While this particular idea isn’t currently on our product team’s roadmap, it’s on our radar and we’re actively monitoring the feedback here.
There are also a couple of related ideas focused on super payment timing that are already in development:
AU Payroll: Superannuation > standardised payment date aligned with PayDay Super - In Development
AU Payroll - Payday super reminders - In Development
If either of these would help, we’d really appreciate you adding your vote.

Auto super - set up payments in advance and allow for a description
When I process payrolls in advance it would be good to have the option to process the super on an advance date as well. Currently we can only process super immediately which is quite restrictive.
Also can we have an option to add a description to each payment so we can easily identify which payroll its for. -

I came here to see if this had been suggested. We have started doing same day super payments already, but if I am running a pay run early like now for the xmas 28.12 FE pay run, I don't want our super to pay until the actual wages payment date preferably. So now I need to log back in especially to pay the super on the 29, 30 or 31.12. Also some months the pay FE date and actual pay date will roll into a new month. I would like both the payroll and super that belong together to stay in the same month. So if my pays are processed on a Mon say 31st of a month and then I load the super after completing the payrun, the Super will go through on the 31st, but the pays will actually debit to the bank on 2nd of the month on the Wednesday when actually paid. So the two will be in different months on the books. So when loading the super on the Monday it would be nice to be able to select the Wednesday 2nd for the super payment to be processed.

Having the ability to set a super pay run, schedule the timing and know it's "processed", similar to salary pay runs. Would enable better time usage, cashflow management, and continue to make Xero competitive against other payroll systems.

We close over Christmas break and I future date the pays on the bank side but just wondered when the super rules change on 1/7/26 are we going to be able to future date super payments.

Change the superannuation payment frequency for the payroll that is already filed and posted.

It would be good to be able to schedule super payments rather than have them be paid immediately they are authorised/processed. This would enable early processing (for convenience) but not paying until the due date (for cashflow).
