Payroll Items - Making them inactive

Question

I have a payroll client that has a large number of old pay items that are no longer active but I cannot make them inactive or remove them from the employees standard pay list as I receive a message that it is linked to a time sheet.&nbsp; Some of these items have not been used for 2 or 3 years and they clog up the pay run when I am preparing the fortnightly pays.&nbsp; Is there any way to make them inactive so they are no longer visible, or, to remove them from the employees standard pay?&nbsp; Seems crazy that such old items cannot be removed or at least made non-visible.

Hi&nbsp;Unfortunately this is a known problem in Accountright. It's not possible to unlink or remove a payroll category once it's been recorded in a timesheet.This does seem to be an issue for many users, so hopefully it's something that MYOB can sort out one day.&nbsp;It might help you to rename old categories with a z, zzz, z_ or similar in front of the category name so that they're at least displayed at the bottom of the list.&nbsp;Cheersvidario
