  1. Summer payroll payouts

    Can we get access to a test system to run our summer payroll for July and August in June since we have to submit all earnings for teachers to TRS by the end of June instead of having to run these two months payrolls in June and then canceling them out just to run them again the correct months.

    Thank you for your input.


    It sounds like you are looking for access to a test database with a copy of your data?


    This would be a hardware call in this case rather than a product idea.  You can submit those requests through the ? button in Web > Customer Access > and then submit the service call to our Customer Success team to help point you in the right direction!


    If this is not the case, feel free to respond back.


    Thank you!

  2. Modify screens in SBAA and Purchasing

    It would be great if we could modify our screens to better fit our needs. LIke deleting rows that aren't fitting our needs. Currenlty in purchasing you can modify and find your modifications under CLONES but there is no ability in SBAA to do the same. And rather than cloning I just want to remove columns

    Thank you for submitting the product idea!


    We are looking for more information on this:


    1. Are you referring to the ability to modify the view of the browse and what information displays?

    2. What information are you looking to adjust, and under which menu paths? (Check Requests, Cash Receipts, Journal Entries, Purchase Orders?)

    3. How does this change affect your day to day duties?


    This idea will remain open for further input from the Skyward Community.


    Thank you!

  3. 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!

  4. Multiple building available on profile under personel

    On the employee profile it would be a great benefit to security access if there were multiple buildings available. Currently we have one "Other Building". Please add two more. This would allow us to restrict security groups to an employees building(s) without opening and setting their ranges. We have a considerable amount of employees that are assigned to a building but also need access to others. Managing ranges is our only option and presents a security risk.

  5. Make the Font larger for addresses

    Please increase the Font on the address for the Food Service Report for Payor Balance Reports. The font is so small and hard to read. I have had several complaints from numerous people including from mail carriers.

    Tell us More  ·  Caitlin Barton responded

    Hello! Please tell us more on your use cases for this. What are your processes and policies in place for an option for multiple Remit To's from One Order From Vendor? Could you share some examples where this comes into play? Thank you!

  7. Person Count Report by Building-all together

    In the Employee Administration, Reports, Person Count Report- I'd like an option to have the report tell me how many of each staff type (teacher/support staff/admin/food service, etc) there are by building without having to run each building separately. Sort by? How many staff, by type, are at each building. (see attached - each building could be displayed like this, one right after the other with a total at the end.) Also, when you run this report for one building, the parameters (building name) are not shown on the report - that would also be helpful to indicate what information…

  8. 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

    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!

  9. Change default Auto FastTrack status 100 Code "Resume Submitted to HR" to "Application Submitted to HR"

    Current default auto 100 status code description for HR should be changed to Application not Resume submitted because it is the application not resume actually submitted.

  10. add change history to data mining

    Data mining in HR really needs the option to pull employee change history. We are trying to find a way to know when employees change their name, move to another department and terminate. Running a data mining with this information as a scheduled task would greatly assist with this.

  12. FastTrack Applicant Reference Update

    Would like an update for applicants to be able to change their references. The 1 year configuration in position set up is not working. We have applicants that originally applied for Aide positions 3-4 years ago that now have teacher certifications. They would like to update reference for their teaching experience. Even after purging the application the references still came back after their social was reentered. The old references are not valid for the position currently applying for. Please consider adding an update for applicants to change their references.

    Need more characters in the 2nd Name field. Some vendors need 2 names listed for the 1099 reporting and the 2nd Name field is too small to fit most vendor names.

  14. add Hospitalized and Homebound fields to datamining

    It would be extremely helpful to be able to datamine the homebound and hospitalized radial fields on the Special Prgrms>Hmbnd/Hosp tab. All other fields are available but with these two options missing the data isn't very informative.

  15. automated emails

    Vendors: Have automated emails/letters to request updated W-9s or ACH Information from vendors. I currently have to manually request this information from the vendors individually. If not available functionality in Skyward, at least a way to export vendor data to Google Sheets so I can do a mail merge.

  16. 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…

  18. Wrong PSD code prints in box 20 on our W2's

    We have been informed by our local tax bureau, Berks Earned Income Tax Bureau that the PSD code in box 20 of our W2's should have the PSD code where our employees work not where they live. This makes it easier for them to locate and collect the money for people working outside the county. They said this was changed about 10 years ago but we are still using the wrong PSD code on our W2's. Could this please be corrected before year end of 23?

    When formatting data mining reports to the correct layout for uploading to a third party, it is necessary to have a "Free Form Comment" field as a placeholder for data. This field is available on the Student side.
