OCR to populate form fields
I'm curious if there is, or can be, integration to utilize OCR functionality from our Canon MFP's to perform functions such as populating Check Requests data fields. The intention would be to scan an invoice and use OCR to populate fields on the CR entry screen rather than users doing so. It would increase efficiency by not requiring users to enter data points that can be pulled off the document. It would also cut down on keying errors as less keystrokes would be required by the user.

Be able to view pcard transaction attachments under the vendor tab
When processing pcard transactions, I take advantage of designating each transaction to the specific vendor. Really easy for referring later on. However, the attachment cannot be viewed from the vendor tab - you see the purchase and accounting info but not the attachment. Would be GREAT to have this. It is easy to remember where you purchased something and go to the vendor tab for an attachment made by check or ACH. Why not for Pcards? If not that, anything under the vendor tab, that you can access these attachments easily

Having a utility to mass change how staff receive W2 to be cleared out and not hang onto historical selections
Currently skyward hangs onto what an employee has selected for receiving their W2 (electronic vs. paper copy) Staff seem very confused about when they may have selected electronic vs. paper copy. For that reason, I would love the option to run a utility to clear this our so each year staff are required to choose electronic vs. paper and historical selections are not part of this.

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?

Enable importing data for bulk check requests and vendor adds/changes
Enable importing data for bulk check requests and vendor adds/changes to expedite data entry when a large batch of checks for individual vendors (families) needs to be entered. Every year we have transportation contracts that require check requests for hundreds of private school families. They've had to be entered one at a time, along with vendor creation and updating, usually in a rush timeframe. Every year, this feature will create a huge time/labor cost savings and make it more reliable for us and Fiscal Services to meet the end of fiscal year deadline. The business need isn't going away. We…

We do have the vendor import which is located through Web Financial Management > Vendor > Product Setup > Utilities > Vendor Import where you can setup a .csv file.
As for the check requests, would it be expected that there are multiple detail lines on a single check request or a check request for each vendor?
Thank you for your additional input!

Text Messaging Authentication
Staff are upset about installing an authenticator app on their personal devices. Could text messaging be set up as an option?
2 votesThank you for submitting the product idea!
At this time text messaging is not being considered for SMS due to security concerns with text message authentication and spoofing.
We have found the Authenticator apps are the more secure way to handle MFA logins.
Thanks!

Auto fill wufar code for vendors when paying bills
When paying bills it would be nice if previous Wufar codes would automatically load, since so many codes stay the same...at least for smaller schools.

Enable API v6.1/Data Std v4
I'm requesting that Skyward enable API v6.1/Data Standard v4 for the SMS Skyward HR/Finance sends that Skyward is certified for by Ed-Fi for Florida. https://techdocs.ed-fi.org/display/EDFICERT/Registry+of+Ed-Fi+Certified+Products indicates that API v6.1/Data Standard v4 is available to Texas and Wisconsin and other states upon request. This request would especially be helpful to Florida districts using FLCode.

User Backup Options
In other systems (like ASCENDER) when you run "major" processes the system will prompt the user to create and download a backup. If a user made a mistake or the system did not perform a process as intended the user could import the backup through a system utility and it would only revert that specific user's data. The user could then re-attempt the process. Currently, if a backup is needed it reverts all users data back to a specific point and time. Because our organization is so massive and there's lots of daily data entry/processes run, we could not expect…

Employee Access / Address / Request Changes
Could there be an option to select which addresses employees would like to change when an Address Request Change is entered? Possibly check boxes beside all available Addresses for them to select the ones to update upon approval? Thanks!
1 voteThank you for submitting the product idea!
We would like some additional clarification on this
Currently, employees can request to change their primary or their mailing address and they can be requested to be changed independently. It may depend on how your request changes configuration is setup.
Or would you expect 1 request for an address change instead of 2?
Thank you!

taxable sales
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.

Automatic Curser Prompt on Authenticator Screen
Please consider adding a default cursor prompt in the Authenticator number field on the Authenticator screen. When logging in, one has to take their hands away from the keyboard/mouse to access the authentication code on the Authenticator app, and then reposition the mouse to the field when typing in the code.
In my experience most authenticator apps automatically place the curser in the authenticator field. This will save time and hassle of repositioning the mouse to type in the 6 digit code.

Would love the ability to mass add add-ons by individual names as an option to choosing, for us, generic parameters.
We use the mass add of add-ons utility every year. It's quite cumbersome to get a preview and have to go and delete every record off the preview that should not receive the particular add-on. It would be nice to have the option to choose specific names to receive the add-on.

Notify person who entered PO to receive PO
It would be fantastic if there was some type of automated email to notify users who have entered PO's that their items need to be received.

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…

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!
