Hi community, in lieu of having a direct feature for this I wanted to highlight the option shared earlier on in this thread (Thanks Peter!) for those it may help.
As mentioned, currently you could enter a separate line on the invoice, with a negative amount for the retention value, and code this to a 'customer retentions' account in the Balance Sheet. You could also add a comment in the Description field, indicating the cumulative retention value.
The Account Transactions Report can then be used to manage the values being carried forward.
Being open, this isn't something we have planned for development at this time, however we'll continue to gather the interest here, and if there's any changes we'll let you know.

I can see that a particular (now ex-)user made changes to transactions, but I cannot see when their access was removed, nor can I see what email address they were using to log in - this means that I can't differentiate easily between work done by users with similar, generic names.

Clarification: you're asking for the ability to tax commissions paid every pay period using the regular tax table instead of table 5. They still need to be reported as commissions under STP2, so they can't be reported as an ordinary hours pay item.
That is: if an employee is paid their regular pay monthly, and received commissions relating only to that month, then it is currently being taxed as if they were being paid their regular pay weekly with commissions paid monthly, which is not as per ATO guidelines and therefore can potentially lead to withholding the incorrect amount of tax.

When I create a batch payment for multiple bills to a single vendor, Xero currently groups all those payments into one when creating the .aba file and labels the grouped payment with the payment reference from one of the payments in the batch.
I would like to be able to create an .aba file with each separate bill paid on a separate line with a separate payment reference, to make it easier for the vendor matching those payments to the bills they sent us. Especially since sometimes, when I am sending payments to related entities or to other clients of mine, that person reconciling those payments is me.

I'm running three weeks worth of weekly payroll for one client today, with the client's permission, because neither of us wants to be in the office in between Christmas and New Year's. I'd really like to schedule the payslips to automatically send on the day that the payments are scheduled for.
(Payslips that aren't sent within 24 hours of payroll payment day are breaking employment law; me working while I'm on annual leave breaches my contract. Basically, I currently have no option available to follow all legal requirements)

Fair Work Australia says payslips are to be sent within a day of payday - we like to queue up payroll so as much as possible runs automatically over Christmas, when we're all on leave, but payslips being required to be sent within a day of payday means that we can't, for example, create a payroll to be paid on 28/12/22 and then go on holiday - someone has to log in while they're visiting family just to send the payslips.

The sending of payslips (within 1 day of recorded payment date) is a legal requirement here in Australia. I would like a report that lists any payslips that have not been sent, so I can quickly check if my clients have done what they are supposed to have, and rectify it if not.

Thanks for the feedback about our forums here themselves, Freya.
Appreciate wanting to get a view of the ideas you've started.
It's not possible on the platform itself currently, however if you select the option to 'Export my data' from your Settings and Activity page you'll receive a few files, one of which is a CSV of all the ideas you've started and the URL to be able to view these online

Thanks for your support here, everyone. Appreciate there is some interest in this from people emailing bills to their organisation, or importing via a 3rd party application.
We wanted to share a recent change we've made for those using eInvoicing - invoices received via Xero's eInvoicing will apply Contact defaults (such as a set default 'Purchase account) when creating the invoice in Xero. 😁

The lack of this function is really annoying. Redoing it every time instead of only when it changes leaves us more vulnerable to human error.

Hiya community, thanks for your support in this. Totally get why you may want to set the default view to sort by surname in Payroll. Being open, with many of the teams resource working hard to fine tune payroll for STP phase 2 there are no direct plans for developing the option to set a default for sorting of employees atm.
To confirm, right now from your list of employees you can click on the column header to sort ascending or descending alphabetically - So, once on the screen you can click Last name to sort your employees by this column.
We'll update again if there's any change planned.

It would be really great to be able to pay payroll (and associated costs) direct from the correct cost centre, instead of having to calculate every pay how much needs to be transferred from each cost centre to the account from which payroll is being paid

My clients do use credit notes and a retentions receivable asset account or other similar workarounds. Unfortunately, this means creating a separate retentions receivable account for each of their customers and given that there's multiple projects and contracts for each of those customers and the retentions receivable can only be reconciled with the customer's statement on a per-project basis, it's still something that needs my clients to maintain a manual spreadsheet OR create a separate receivables account for each project (which gets very unwieldy very quickly).
