AU Payroll - Button to reverse pay run figures filed with STP
An option to automatically do a reversal of pay run that has been filed with STP as currently there is no option to allow this. I had a pay run today and the client had not let me know that there was a change to their pay run until after it had been lodged with the ATO. I subsequently went to the portal and found that both pay runs had been processed as was out to the actual amount in Xero.

With payday super just around the corner and more payruns being locked sooner due to approved super batches, automatic reversals for incorrect payruns are going to be even more desirable. Incorrect payruns are annoying and time-consuming to fix, especially when it has a long list of employees or includes a termination pay. In addition to an automatic reversal, I'd like a second option to generate a draft of the same pay run on a different date. This is critical for balancing the payroll clearing account at the end of the month. Many clients have problems with timing issues, and it would be great if this were easier and cheaper for us to fix for them.

Agreed! It is so manual to process a correction where the super and tax don't calculate or where multiple employees are involved. I would suggest the ability to reverse the whole pay run, but also to select individual employees.

This is something we need - specifically when creating an adjustment payrun, you should be able to click a button to "reverse" the entire payrun and all items including super and tax instead of entering these values manually.
