UK payroll - Turn off automatic journal posting for payroll
As the automatic journal for payroll is not able to be viewed before posting to accounts, we should have the option to turn off automatic journals. Currently, we have to post, then go back and do another journal to split out ER NI & Pension for different departments. This system is so unflexible.

Why is the Payroll Journal not able to be customised before it is posted? We have employees in different departments so things like ER Pension & NI needs to be coded to different nominal codes. Expenses can also require different nominal codes or have VAT split out

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?

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.
