Employee Time Off Org Chart
Org Chart in Skyward desperately needs report features and Utilities. We discovered an employee had been selected as a Self Approval and Final Approval on Time Off Org Chart, therefore bypassing the Supervisor and was allowed to enter negative time off for time they did not have. I did a service call and was told there are no reports to find out if other employees had this issue. I clicked on 900+ employees to discover 2 additional employees had this same issue. There truly needs to be better support for Org Chart.

Update Retirement Hour Totals Automatically
If you make changes in the Retirement "Details Hours" for an employee it should automatically update the "Monthly Info" and the "Annual Info". If you update at a higher level, for example the monthly tab, then it should automatically update the Annual and then give you a warning reminding you to fix it in the "Detailed Hours" section. This would really help with keeping the data consistent and stop redundancies in entering corrections.

Aging purchase order report
I would like a purchase order aging report. I would like a report with the purchase order date on the report. The report would allow us to review which purchase orders remain open 30, 45, or 60+ similar to a report a vendor sends regarding invoices that have not been paid. The purchase order has a PO date on it when it prints.
3 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We’d like your feedback:
(1) What options would you expect to use on the parameters screen prior to running an Aging Purchase Orders Report?
(2) What fields would you expect to see on a Details report?
(3) What fields would you expect to see on a Summary report?
Thank you for your feedback!

Send Advice of Deposit notices to multiple vendor contacts
In this day of cyber financial attacks, it would be helpful to be able to designate at least 2 individuals who will receive advice of deposit notices. Perhaps this feature would help mitigate malicious intent?

Implement wildcard search capability
Implement a "wildcard" search feature when using Filters in Data Mining and basically throughout the entire system. I'd like to be able to find any Student Fees records with a Billing Description that "contains" the word "child" - upper/lower/mixed case.

ALL SKYWARD PRESET REPORTS SHOULD INCLUDE THE EMPLOYEE ID/NAMEID
Every preset report should automatically include either the employee ID or NameKey (as long as they are consistent). Some reports have the name key. Some reports are LFM, some are Last Name, First, Middle in separate columns with no employee ID. I will use the Time Off Tracker as an example. It defaults with all three names in separate columns. I find myself constantly pulling a data mining reports and running VLOOKUP to add an employee ID or employee type to a report. How about some consistency? If they all had Name ID we all would have to manually manipulate…
4 votesThank you for submitting this Product Idea.
The SMS 2.0 strategy behind canned reports was that each report was built with input from customers on what they wanted and needed at that time. The benefit to that strategy was that each report was designed in such a way that is was unique to that area.
As times have changed it has come at the cost of consistency across the system. This strategy was something Skyward shifted with our Qmlativ product where we have one stop shop for Report Management with a Report Designer and a Data Mining Designer.
Do you have specific reports that you’d like updated with a NameKey option in the parameters?
Thank you.

Develop full-service HR module
Develop option to upload documents to an employee HR File (regular & confidential). Allow for user to set up sections to categories in which to file paperwork (certificates, training, evaluations, benefits, etc). Include ability to allow supervisor to access specific sections (evaluations, trainings). Would also like to have employee be able to access specific portions of file (evaluations, training).
Also incorporate on-boarding section to move from Fast Track into benefits enrollment.

Purchase Orders
There needs to be a better way to process purchase orders. The first improvement I would make is when you're batching purchase orders. When reviewing the Report of Batch POs, Reversals it would be nice if that report would indicate if the order will be an ecommerce or submitted via email once processed. The second improvement I would suggest is that when submitting a purchase order there should be a required indicator of whether the order will be placed by the person submitting the requisition or by the person processing the batch. This selection should be printed on the purchase…

Ability To Tie Specific Time Off Codes to Specific Pay Codes
We would like the ability to connect specific time off codes to specific pay codes. Time off populates into timesheets, and from the timesheet it flows into payroll. With past employers, sick/vacation/personal time taken showed up on employees pay stubs. This would also be helpful when someone received a different rate of pay for time off. This became most evident and problematic with COVID absences, but it would be helpful in VARIOUS ways that have nothing to do with COVID. EPSL at 2/3 pay may or may not return in the near future, but not having this REALLY caused major…

Offer Void Process in Middle of A Check Run WF\AP\PP\CR\CR
If you are doing a multiple check check run (20 checks as an example) & the last 3 (or any) jam or print wrong, you should have an option within the process to pick checks that need to be voided & reprinted with new check #'s. Not having to finalize the check run & then going to Quick Void.

True Time = Updating time sheets into seperate Worksheet Selections
Within True Time = when UPDATING time sheets, if there was a button where we could individually HOLD or SELECT a specific time sheet to go into a different WORKSHEET SELECTION. For example, I am pulling in teachers time sheets and I want a couple of this group to go into a different worksheet because they need to be paid on a different date then the rest.

Add column to the time-off transactions to show the day of the week.
When adding a time-off transaction and when viewing the employee time-off transaction data, it would be nice to also see the day of the week requested. It would possibly help employees entering an incorrect date by being another reminder of the day they are entering. It would also be nice for historical purposes when reviewing patterns in time-off requests (for example, an employee who is always sick on Friday).

Ability to Look Up PO's y Vendor Name
Currently the only way to search for a PO is by the PO#. There are many times we don't know the PO# and only the vendor name. So it would be helpful to be able to search for a PO by the vendor name in each PO group.

Color Code options for Employee Profile and other menus.
In Employee Profile, an option to customize the color of each tab that appears on the left hand side (Employee, Position, Tax, etc) would be nice. It would be great to have "Employee" in purple, "Position" in green, "Tax" in Red etc. It would be a lot easier and faster to find the option that I am looking for.

In PAC, Reporting, Detail check history. 1) have a "look up" button. 2) be able to create folders for reports I want to keep.
1) I save a lot of reports in Detail Check History. It would be nice to have a "lookup" feature, so I don't have to scroll through all of them. i.e. ones starting with a "T". 2) It would be very helpful to have folders where I can save & store reports for future reference. i.e. for Audits. Then I do not have to re-create them. But then they are also not cluttering the rest of my reports. Or also to have folders for reports I run every pay day--have them all together in one folder. Kind of like "saved…
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea. We've reviewed it and have the following suggestions to try instead:
(1) On the Web, the Vendor Check History has a lookup feature.
(2) We've heard from other Skyward customers that they use a prefix on the report description for grouping reports, this would also help when using the lookup feature on the Web.
(3) On the Web, you can schedule Reports, this is one solution to implement for the reports you run daily.
Thank you!

Add "Approve and Re-route" option in invoice approval.
Our A/P Specialist enters invoices, which then come to me for final approval. I would like to be able to route them to someone else for approval after I verify the accounting code.
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea.
We suggest trying this alternative solution:
Add everyone who needs to approve certain accounts as level 3 approvers and then send them an email whenever an account is used that one of them needs to approve so they can go look at the invoice.
We will continue to research the feasibility of adding a more streamlined approve and re-route option to the system. We will keep this Idea open for continued support by the Skyward user community.
Thank you!

Super User/ Administrator
A super user or administrator should be able to access, delete, or modify anything that is needed no matter what. There are several instances where administrators need to login under the individual user to make changes and this should not need to be done.
1 voteSkyward recommends using proper segregation of duties for the best internal controls with one super user per database. This ensures that multiple people do not have too much unauthorized access. Please check with your auditor to review best practices for internal controls.

Submit Journal Entry restricted to 100 lines
We would like to do electronic approvals for Journal Entries. We often have JEs with over 100 lines. Although the Journal Entry screen allows thousands of lines, the "Submit Journal Entry" screen (which allows for electronic approvals), has a cap of 100 lines.
I'm not sure why there would be a cap of 100 lines since I can import thousands of lines to the 'regular' Journal Entry screen.
I'd like the ability to remove this limit, or at least increase the limit.
See attached document for error message regarding 100 line maximum.
