    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.

    Add this!! i am only new to Xero, and this was one of the first things I picked up. How has Xero ignored superannuation as an expense that needs to be allocated just as wages and salaries are? This is soooooooo frustrating.

    Simply put, all expenses and income need to be able to be tracked to any category.
