We have a load of duplicated payments and deductions, the support team advised us to rename them to DO NOT USE. The whole drop down menu in the employee pay run now looks haphazard and confusing. There is no way of deleting them as they may have been previously used, I get that. But, there should be a way to archive them or just remove / hide them from the drop down list in the pay run.

There has to be a better way to handled unused pay elements, the problems exists in Sage 50 Payroll but has been addressed to some extent.
As a minimum why not simply add a Hide or Inactive checkbox to the pay element settings and then have a Show/Hide inactive check box on the list of pay elements that is set to 'Hide' by default.
More thought should be given to removing pay elements as this is only likely to grow worse over time and will the same happen with the inclusion of BIK's should they make their way into the settings (recommended).
