Appreciate you raising the idea with us here, Jennifer and the quick support it's starting to receive.
We'd like to confirm that this is something our product team are working on as part of their development for Payday super in Xero. We will provide prompts to both;
- help payroll admins set up pay items to correctly calculate super, and
- highlight to payroll admins to pay superannuation when it's outstanding
However, BPay will not be a supported method of payment. We'll come back to share when the prompts we've noted above are released. Thanks

Hey everyone, as you're aware the ATO are implementing Payday superannuation amendments in July 2026. This will significantly change the way Automatic Superannuation in Xero works. Whilst we don't have any specifics on how this will look in Xero payroll, our product team are working hard to make the necessary changes to keep our customers compliant in a user friendly way. We've moved the current status to In Development. We'll be reaching out closer to July to let payroll customers know how PayDay super will work in Xero.

Hi Lisa, thanks for raising this. It’s clear that these friction points in the timesheet entry process are leading to extra steps that slow things down.
We hear you that things like the date resetting to Monday can disrupt your efficiency.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and show our product team how improving these defaults and navigation could make time entry smoother and more efficient.

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.

Hi everyone, we just wanted to provide a quick update on this one as the upcoming payday super changes will be top of everyone's minds.
The current approval step is important for both cash flow management and security and the community has also suggested a few different ideas on how to approach this:
- Setting up multiple auto super authorisers - currently in discovery
- Super Payment Authorisation via Xero Verify - currently gaining support
If either of these ideas reflects what’d work best for you, please add your vote, to help us get a clearer understanding what matters most to our community.
When we’re through the thick of EOY and initial payday super is rolled out, our product team will circle back around to these ideas to review.

Hi team, we appreciate the interest here especially with upcoming Payday Super. I'd like to share that notifications and prompts are being developed with some of the changes we're working on, and achieve what's being asked here.
I'll round back when this is live and confirm what these look like to help in your processing of Superannuation here.

Hi everyone, a quick update on multi-authorisation for Payday Super.
We recognise that multi-authorisation is a priority for many of you, particularly as Payday Super approaches and businesses review how they manage super payments in Xero.
Our Product team is actively working on an enhanced workflow for this, which is on track for release next quarter.
We’ll share more updates as soon as we have more to confirm.

Having more than one person able to create and approve automatic super is now going to be critical. In some cases our clients are moving from 4 payments per year, to 52 payments per year. The chances of the authorised person being away unexpectedly for one of those payments is much higher (dare I say likely) and therefore contingency plans, ie a backup preparer and authoriser needs to be in place to ensure the employer can meet their legal obligations and not face penalties due to limitations of their payroll/super software provider.

Hi community, we thank you for your feedback on the value of being able to flag a Sales invoice as in dispute. We know a clear way to mark these invoices would be helpful.
Similarly to our update for Supplier invoices there are a few options you may want to consider to currently highlight Sales invoices in this situation;
- Add a note to the invoice to serve as a clear internal reminder of the dispute.
- Utilise tracking categories: Creating a specific tracking category like "Disputed Invoices" can help you filter and report on these items.
- Update the reference to add a notation such as [reference number] - 'In dispute'
While we know these aren't perfect solutions, we hope these may help some in the conversation right now.
We appreciate your enthusiasm for this feature, and we want to be transparent about where it stands, and this is an idea that…

Hey team 😊 happy to come back to share that this work is now underway with our product team as they begin development for managing files within Xero Payroll.
We really value the feedback we've received from you all in this idea, which has helped inform our teams approach to developing a solution that will fit majority of needs.
I'll return to share as we get nearer to release with more information on what this looks like including where and how you'll be able to attach files in Payroll.

Perhaps there are additional security considerations that make this more involved. As a bookkeeper I can see this feature would be very useful.
As an employee I don't think I would want any documentation that potentially had all of my identifying information potentially together with my signature in one place digitally. I would not give my employer permission to save my information into Xero because of this issue.An error occurred while saving the comment Lisa Keating

I think the ability to attach documents would be good, however I would be concerned about the security aspects of having additional personal information included in the Xero file and consent from employees potentially being an issue. I for one would not consent to having a copy of my drivers license, or any other identification document which contains information that my employer doesn't need, saved in my employer's cloud accounting file.

Ability to future date/set a specific date for automatic superannuation payments the same way that you can set a payment date for the Pay Runs.
In the situation where there is a holiday period such as Christmas/New year payroll administrators may process payroll/s in advance with a future payment date. Payday super requires that the super is paid on pay day, however if the automatic super payment batch is processed in advance it will pay the super immediately and not at the same future date as the payroll payment. If you can select a specific payment date for payroll, you should also be able to select a specific payment date for super. This will be more important with the more frequent superannuation payments required under the new Payday Super rules and the likelihood of needing to process payrolls and super in advance.
