Expansion of Custom Items Based on System Items
In March 2019 we announced a new feature that allows you to create customised items that follow the same tax and payroll rules as certain system items. It proved to be so popular amongst you, our users, that there were requests to allow for more system items to be customised. We’re happy to say that we have now expanded this feature to also include the following items:
- Provident Fund
- Subsistence Allowance Local
- Subsistence Allowance International
- Travel Allowance
Remember, this feature allows you to:
- Create multiple items of a certain type
- Customise the names of these items
- Map different versions of a specific type of item to different Xero accounts
How does it work?
When creating a custom item (Settings > Custom Items > Add), there is an option to select create a copy of an existing system item. Select the system item that you wish to use and give it a custom name. You can then add it to your payslips in the same way you would the system item of that type (Regular Inputs or Payslip Inputs).
Read our help page here for more information on creating custom items.
If you need assistance on this, please reach out to our support team who would be happy to help.
