Tracking categories (also referred to as Cost centres) are used by businesses to generate more detailed payroll journals that split wages and other payroll-related expenses by the specific teams(s) employees work across.

Before you can assign values to your teams, create a tracking category type by navigating to Payroll > Payroll Settings > Company Setup and select the + Add Tracking Category button.

Note: If you use Xero for accounting, this name should match across both systems. Learn more here.

Once Tracking Categories have been created, navigate to your teams in Tanda under Workforce > Teams and click the Edit icon on the relevant team.

Under the Tanda Payroll Tracking Categories header, enter a value before saving the page.

Once you’ve created tracking categories and assigned them to the relevant teams, payroll exports will include the fields on payslip lines.

Tracking categories will appear as a new column on the payroll journal. Wages and super will be split across the relevant tracking categories applied to employee payslips.
