    Heya team, thanks for all your input here. We hear you, and understand that being able to assign multiple tracking categories to pay items would improve your reporting capabilities, and simplify tracking costs for various projects, locations, or departments.

    For now, we’d suggest using manual journals to split and reallocate payroll costs after a pay run. Alternatively as some have shared, you could create specific pay items for each tracking category combination, although we recognise this may not be suitable for all.

    While this isn’t in our plans at this stage we understand the rationale here and will consider how tracking works within payroll closely as we continue to develop our roadmap.

    If there are any changes or news for tracking in payroll we’ll be sure to update you of this here.

    I thought I was going crazy thinking it was something we were not doing. You follow all the processes regarding tracking categories around payroll to find that you can't even report on them. The reports default to the assigned tracking category, which is great if staff don't work across multiple venues. I too need this for my NFP/Social Enterprise Hospitality Groups.
