Hello Zoho Payroll Team and Community,

I am writing to discuss a reporting requirement regarding department-level expense tracking within Zoho Payroll.

As we scale and manage salary distribution for employees across multiple departments, such as Accounts, Sales, AI, and Marketing—the need for high-level cost analysis becomes critical. We find Zoho Payroll excellent for individual processing, but we are facing a challenge with macro-level reporting.

• Open the reports.

• Apply a filter for "Department A" to get the total.

• Reset and apply a filter for "Department B" to get that total.

This manual process is time-consuming and not scalable for organizations with many departments.

Is there an existing workaround or a hidden report type that allows us to view a "Department vs. Total Cost" summary table?

If this is not currently available, please consider this a feature request. A report that lists all departments with their respective total payroll costs in one view would be a significant productivity booster for finance teams and management.

I look forward to hearing if anyone has solved this or if the product team can add this to the roadmap.
