    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.

    Surely! this can be built into the payrun where one could assign a line item towards a tracking category - so split timesheet hours against multiple categories. I feel like this could definitely be built into a payrun, much easier than reinventing the wheel .... so,

    This is really important to be able to change tracking categories each week within our wages.
