Get Payslip returns same EarningsRateID for all LeaveEarningsLines (AU Payroll)

[humphrey]

SDK you're using (please complete the following information):

• Version 9.2.0

Describe the bug
API returns the same EarningsRateID (Id in the SDK) for all LeaveEarningsLines. This is not an issue with the SDK as the API Explorer returns these same Id's also. This means that it is impossible to determine the leave type from a PaySlip.

Example output from API explorer:

{
  // ...
  "Payslip": {
     // ...
    "LeaveEarningsLines": [
      {
        "EarningsRateID": "12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012",
        "RatePerUnit": 30.72,
        "NumberOfUnits": 30.4,
        "PayOutType": "DEFAULT"
      },
      {
        "EarningsRateID": "12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012",
        "RatePerUnit": 5.376,
        "NumberOfUnits": 30.4,
        "PayOutType": "DEFAULT"
      },
      {
        "EarningsRateID": "12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012",
        "RatePerUnit": 30.72,
        "NumberOfUnits": 7.6,
        "PayOutType": "DEFAULT"
      }
    ],
    // ...
  }
}

To Reproduce
Create a payslip with mulitple leave earnings lines items or different leave types and call the API. They will all have the same EarningsRateId

Expected behavior
EarningsRateId's that correlate to the leave type

This is not an issue with the SDK, it is a limitation of the API itself.

At the moment the leave type id is not surfaced in the payslips. All you see is the earnings rate id and this relates to the ordinary earnings rate for the employee as the leave amount is based on the ordinary earnings rate of pay.

Yeah, so basically there is no way of determining the leave type id reliabily. You could compare these values to the leave applications, but this would be ambigous if a leave application spanned over multiple pays. What is the process of requesting this being fixed in the API itself?
