  3. Empoyee Acess Code viewable in Employee Access

    We would like to our employees to be able to view their Employee Access Code for TrueTime in Employee Access. Currently the only way to view the Employee Access code is in HR/Employee Profile/TrueTime/Setup. Employees are not able to view that themselves. They have to contact someone with securities to that screen to find out what their code is. It would be much easier if employees had the ability to see the code in Employee Access.

  4. AP attached to Payroll Check

    Currently if you have an employee who is being reimbursed for anything it goes through AP, to post through payroll it would need to do a negative reimbursement. You lose history and there is no place to enter what that reimbursement is. In SMART you are able to attach and AP reimbursement to a paycheck. I know in my past job I had a lot of reimbursement's and they were added to my paycheck as well.

  5. Time Off Requests - No more than 1 day per request

    We use calendars on employee profiles and would like the option to turn off the Time Off Date Range so employees could not ask for more than one day per request.

    Thank you for submitting the product idea! This is actually already a feature - the option you are looking for is located through Web Product Setup > Employee Access > Configurations > Time Off Setup.


    Under the Request options tab there is a checkbox option "Prevent Employees from requesting more than one day off with a single Time Off transaction" which you will just want to make sure is checked.

  6. Time Off Requests - Sub Needed

    When teachers enter a time off request it would be beneficial that the box for Sub Needed be automatically checked (with no option to uncheck it) and once saved would take them to Aesop to enter the sub request.

  7. Enlarge the lookup table available on custom forms to 50 instead of 35

    Enlarge the lookup table available on custom forms to 50 instead of 35 as this could be used for more options to force users to make correct selection as opposed to an entry where they can enter what they want. For example to select an assignment so it matches exactly in position control and such

  8. timesheet submission

    Timesheet Submission Exception Reasons by Timekeeping Rule.

    There should be the ability to assign or to be able to create unique Exception Reasons to specific Timekeeping Rules. Not all reasons make sense for the different work staff.

  9. sales tax

    I would like to propose the addition of a "Taxable Sales" button in our system to automatically calculate and post tax to the liability account. Currently, our bookkeepers have that and now that we will be migrating to Q they will have to manually back out tax and post revenues separately, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.

    Implementing this feature will streamline operations, ensure accuracy, and reduce the workload on our bookkeepers by eliminating multiple steps in the tax reporting process.

    I believe this enhancement will greatly improve our operational efficiency and accuracy. I look forward to your feedback.

  11. Utility to Mass Delete ACH Information for Inactive Employees

    In the interest of security, and minimizing impacts of a possible data breach, we would like to have a utility that will mass delete ACH information for all employees once they have been inactive for a period of time. It would be great to have the option to run the utility based on the length of time the employee has been inactive, e.g. 6 months or 1 year.

  12. True Time Submission Exception Reasons

    We are wanting to utilize the exception reasons for when Employees submit their timesheet with less or extra scheduled hours. However, we have noticed that when we create the reasons, then it takes away the note field that allows them to type their own comment when they submit. We were hoping to have an option that is "Other-leave comment" as it would be hard to capture everything that could happen as an individual reason. Is there a way to have both?

  13. Employee Cost by Account Report

    Please, please, please add this report to current plans so it is not only available in Salary Negotiations. This is an amazing, incredible report and not being able to pull it from our current plan is so frustrating. I am having to keep up the current plan with new changes of course, but then have to keep my sal neg plan up to date all year so that we can pull that report.

  14. NACHA file format option

    We have a vendor, Alliant Energy, that only accepts ACH payments if the format is CCD+ and CTX.

    Alliant Energy mentioned that they have a lot of schools that can't sent payments via ACH so we are all limited to sending paper checks.
    Could you please develop a CCD+ and CTX format for ACH payments?
    As a follow up from the last user group, this is a step we are trying to take to prevent fraud. There have been districts that have had paper checks white washed and cashed with zero recourse.
    Thanks!

  20. Inactivte vendor at any time

    I used to be able to inactivate a vendor at any time, but now I get a message telling me I cannot inactivate this vendor because they have activity in the current or previous year. This changed sometime in 2022. This makes it hard to stop using bad vendors or inactivate employee vendors who leave. I have a list of vendors from 2022, 2023 & 2024 that I need to inactivate. I was told I could inactivate the one from 2022 in January 2025. That is a long time to leave them active!
