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.

Keyword Search in Vendor Names
Add the ability to search for key words in vendor names. Some vendors have DBAs or abbreviations in their names. Searching for a vendor means you have to know the exact way it exists. We have many duplicate vendors that could have been prevented if there was a way to search for a portion of the name

check payee number of characters = positve pay file number of characters
Make the name of the payee on the check exactly match the vendor name in the positive pay file allowing the bank an extra safeguard against fraud.

Please make check request invoice information "talk" to the rest of Skyward
Currently if a duplicate invoice is entered through A/P, Skyward will alert the user that the invoice is already in the system. Unfortunately, if a check request is entered with a duplicate invoice number, it does not alert the user. We have run into duplicate payments as some invoices come to A/P for payment unaware that a teacher has also received it and enters a check request a month after A/P has already paid it. Neither person gets any kind of notice that the invoice in check request is already in the system. These duplicate payments are not good accounting…

Utility to remove Old WIP status Expense Reimbursement requests

allow reimbursement expense code for mileage max amount to be set to the configured 4 decimal places
the reimbursement expense code setup for mileage does not allow the max amount to be set to the configured 4 decimal places. I can set the default amount per IRS value but not the max.
If the federal rate was .675 per mile, I want to set the max rate as .675. Sometimes the fed changes the rate mid year so keeping the max rate as the highest for the year keeps the entry problems down. Currently the default amount is .675 and the max can only be set as .67 or .68 even though entry amount is set to…

Enhance Invoice Approvals
If an invoice has been approved but the amount is later changed, the invoice reverts from Batch to Approval Pending. However, if the vendor is changed the invoice stays in Batch. Changes to invoice amounts, vendor and possibly account coding should all require re-approval.

Account Groups
Would be great if we could delete account groups that we do not/ have NEVER/ will NEVER use. Right now they all have a Z in front of their name - but I'd like to eliminate them altogether.

Add PO to Invoice Import
The requisition/purchase order function is an important cost/classification control process that is used extensively by many customers. The ability to import invoices, with ties to PO’s seems a natural extension of this process and could save customers many hours of manual input. Most other accounting software systems do this, so we believe this is a reasonable enhancement to request.

View PO liquidation status on Invoice Entry screen
In the Invoice Entry - Batch view, it would be nice to see the purchase order liquidation status. The only way I know to see whether Partially Received or Fully Received is selected is by opening each invoice and clicking Edit Master. Or, by running an Invoice Listing Report and reviewing the status of each PO. Both options are time consuming when we could quickly check the Batch screen for any potential liquidation errors.

PDF of PO
I would like to be able to view a PDF of a PO that has been attached to an invoice from the 'view' hyperlink located next to the PO number within the invoice vs. having to manually attach each individual PO PDF to the invoice in the PO filing cabinet.

Add check type to Import AP Invoices
It would be very helpful to have Check Type added to the Input AP Invoices template so that a check type other than "R" can be uploaded. Right now, there is no check type field available and it defaults to "R" upon upload. I use this feature for both regular, wire, and ACH payments and I would like to be able to indicate the check type when I upload instead of having to manually change the check type after I upload. The Import feature is a time saver, and allowing check type to be uploaded would make it even more…

Add Vendor Phone # to Vendor Info on Profile
Add Vendor Phone # to Vendor Info on Profile - this will eliminate the need to open a new window or get out of Invoices and going to General Tab to get the phone number while working with vendor on AP Invoice issues
3 votesThank you for submitting the product idea!
We have reviewed it and would like to offer a suggestion on how to get the information you are looking for.
In Vendor Browse (Web Financial Management > Vendor > Vendor Browse), you do also have the ability to create a custom filter which would allow you to see the phone number easily and re-arrange the fields to fit your needs.
Thank you!

Allow credit memo#s/negative amounts on check requests and/or multiple invoice #s per request
It would be nice to be able to enter multiple invoices for one vendor check request, including credit memo#'s with negative amounts. Instead of having to enter a seperate check request for every invoice#. Also, the system doesn't allow a negative check request, for a credit memo, so those still have to be submitted on paper (unless there is another way, please share :) Thanks!

Add a report for denied invoice approval
We want to be able to run a report for denied invoices that also includes the reason for the denial. We use the Name/Note field that is under Action History under the Approval History of an invoice. Can this option be added?

Remove Batch lock feature
What is the purpose of the "Batch lock"? Several of the secretaries gets block and I have to unblock them before I can update PO's. It's such a waste of time.

When having a Blanket PO and had 30 invoices to enter it would be nice if there was a way to enter them together on 1 page.
When having a Blanket PO and having 30 invoices to enter it would be nice if there was a way to enter them together on 1 page instead of having to do them all separately.
