  1. Receiving Notification to A/P

    Requesting that an email notification be setup in Purchasing that will send a notification to Accounts Payable (email would be customizable) when items have been received. At this time the only notification goes to the Requestor IF the district is using centralized receiving so that Requestor knows the items have been received.

    The email should include a list of all the items that were received on the PO for that specific Receiving record.

    This would then give A/P a good comparison when the Invoice is received in lieu of having to run reports to determine if the items on the…

  2. 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?

  3. Need to Update Multiple True Time Rule Sets at the Same Time

    When updating timesheets (HR\PA\CP\TT) each rule set must be updated one at a time. This is extremely time consuming. We need a "select all" option, or some way to update multiple time sheets at the same time. We can then run reports to find any discrepancies, rather than trying to review each individual rule set before updating.

  4. Create a Button that says "Returned For Corrections" in addition to the deny button

    For approving purchase orders, currently, the only options are to approve or deny. We would like the ability to select "Returned For Corrections" so the secretaries and principals don't get overwhelmed with constant denials.

    Thank you for submitting this Product Idea. 


    We recommend denial comments are very descriptive so secretaries and principles (or whomever is processing the denials) know what should be changed or if it can be submitted or if it is fully denied for other reason and cannot be resubmitted. 


    We have reviewed it and would like to see more support and use cases submitted from the Skyward user community prior to considering it for development.


    This Idea will remain open for the Skyward user community to show support by voting and commenting on it with additional use cases.

  7. Option to translate the text.

    A button for staff to translate the text to their primary language would be helpful. At least in the True Time modul. Our workplace is diverse and having this feature would be beneficial to all of our staff.

  8. Payroll - Direct Deposit Entry

    When staff enter in Routing Numbers and Banking information - This should ONLY be a numbers field and the system should error out if there is letters typed within this field.

    Our bank will not accept bank accounts with letters listed within the account string.... Not sure if other Banks allow letters within their account string...?

  11. Mass Inactivate Utility for Chart of Accounts in web

    Having a utility that would allow us to specify via a parameter how many years we wish to search as well as each of the account dimensions (ie. project). The utility would then search account activity over those years and present a browse list of those that have '$0' expenditures or '$0' balances. After previewing the list (with option to check/uncheck those that we want to exclude from processing) we would commit to inactivating those accounts. Maybe add this to web.

    We aware that we can inactivate accounts one at a time but this can be very time consuming not…

  12. Time Off Import

  13. Insurance Tracking: a mass utility process to merge sub plan history from one plan to another.

    We'd like to request a mass utility process to merge sub plan history from one plan to another. (Premiums collected to date on the old plan to the new plan history). You can only do it person by person.

  14. Insurance Tracking: Ability to clone dependents into new plan (can clone existing members, but not dependents now)

    We recently built a new plan for our dental coverage based on changes that will be coming down the pike. I cloned all existing members from the old plan set up to the new plan set up. That was easy. What doesn't happen, however, is the dependents that were on the prior plan don't also move to the new plan with the cloned employees. Therefore, I had to go into each employee's insurance tracking record and re-clone their dependents into the new plan. It took a lot of time.

  15. Add Position Control information to data mining fields

    Because Position Control information could differ from the Assignment information, we would like to be able to add Position Control fields to either data mining, or run some type of other reporting option, to be able to review and compare the data fields between Position Control and Assignment.

    We would need to be able to run this report for both Employee Management and for Salary Negotiations, including vacancies.

    Thank you!

    Thank you for submitting this Product Idea.  


    Can you help me understand this idea better?  


    Which specific fields from Position Control would you expect to pull in Data Mining?


    Are there differences in the fields you would expect depending on whether you come from Employee Management or from Salary Negotiations? 


     Thank you!

  16. Ability to make the Time Sheet Approve/Deny notes field required

    When a supervisor is approving Time Sheets, we would like the ability to make the Notes field for approval or denial reasons required. This would be a toggle for the district to choose if they require the supervisor to enter some sort of note or not.

    Add a column to flag eCommerce requisitions in the approval process just like there's an option when initially adding a requisition? I've attached screen shots.

  18. Default tax election

    When you are setting up a new employee, in the "Tax-W4" tab there is a checkbox that says "2020 or After W-4". It should now default to having that checkbox check since all new employees that are added should be with the new form at this point.

  20. Total HOURS = wrs or worked hours

    Employees would like a way/ to view track worked hours (mostly for WRS). HR/Payroll is able to see total WRS hours. HR/Payroll can use the retirement custom tab (retirement tab- retirement detail hours)to view total WRS/Worked hours and employee has had. Is this something that an employee would be able to see easily on their employee access portal?

    I don't see in the employee access portal (skyward web), where employees has a total worked hours or total WRS hours listed for them to view. Our bus drivers have asked for this option - to help track WRS hours - since…
