  1. Exclude Employees from Vendor Mass Inactivate

    Mass inactivate allows districts to clear out no longer used vendors based on inactivity. Currently this process will also inactive the vendor records setup for employee expense reimbursement. I would like to see a radio button that allows a district to include or exclude active employee records from the Vendor Mass Inactivate process.

  2. Vendor profile - viewing inactive vendors

    It would be extremely helpful when pulling up vendors in Vendor Profile if inactive vendors could be differentiated in someway. Maybe make inactive vendors a different color or something easy to spot when typing in the vendor key. In order to see if a vendor is inactive while in profile you have to select that vendor to view the vendor information. This would also be helpful in Vendor Browse. Instead of looking at the columns for a Y or N an easier view would be to make them stand out like in employee browse. In HR all inactive employees show…

  3. Select Phone Category Field in Employee Access

    Enable employees to maintain their phone numbers and select Phone Category and Type. This information would then populate the information on the Phone/Email tab. District could have a Notification Phone Category so that users could select to use for school closing. Data could then be exported and uploaded to 3rd party software. Districts are currently requesting the information it is not updated in Skyward only in the 3rd party software. Would allow single entry of data. Employees can keep their phone numbers updated for notification when necessary. Districts could have an open period to allow employees to update their numbers…

  4. VENDOR ACH SETUP

    We are moving in the direction of using more ACH processing and have come across the vendor "Alliant Energy" who requires certain criteria that Skyward is not able to support at this time. Per Aaron King (Service call: 3683187) the part that is not support is the Addenda 7 part of the attached form. Since we make weekly payments to this vendor (because of the various buildings with different due dates) we would like to see if something could be worked out to accommodate ACH processing.

  5. Blocking Individual Vendors

    I would love to have the ability to block access to individual vendors - invoice history and/or attachments. For example I would like to block the ability to see legal vendors for most of the employees who have vendor view securities. We scan in invoices and I believe the details contained in some legal invoices should not be seen by everyone.
    Without this ability we will most likely stop scanning in legal invoices.

  6. Add "ATTN TO:" field to print in Check Address

    An AP Check prints the following fields of information for a vendor in the address information:
    Line 1: Vendor 1st Name and Vendor 2nd Name
    Line 2: Address 1
    Line 3: Address 2
    Line 4: City State Zip

    We would like to add an optional new field in the Vendor FM (Address tab) for "ATTN TO:" that prints below the Vendor Name and above Address 1.
    Line 1: Vendor 1st Name and Vendor 2nd Name
    Line 2: ATTN TO: xxxxx
    Line 3: Address 1
    Line 4: Address 2
    Line 5: City State Zip

    We need this to print on the…

    Thank you for submitting this idea. Nelco is the authorized partner of compatible paper forms for the Skyward software. All W-2 and 1099 forms, checks, and school forms are guaranteed 100% compatible. Any issues with the check layout will need to be handled by Nelco as Skyward is unable to alter the format in anyway.

  7. Allow approvers to get notificaton of PO Overage

    Allowing an approver instead of the submitter of a purchase order to get notification that the PO went over. The negative impact would be that the person doing the budget has to go into each PO to see which ones are over.
