Payroll department needs to be able to change pay codes without denying timesheet
Payroll really needs to be able to change the pay code when they are processing True Time. Too many people select the wrong pay when clocking in on the app which then reduces the annualized pay amount and charges the funds to another, incorrect, account number.
The process of having to go in deny it, wait for the employee to change, then get re-approved is not efficient whatsoever!6 votesHave you tried any of the following suggestions?
(1) Have you tried excluding pay codes that you don’t want? There is the ability to exclude pay codes that you don’t want employees tracking time against from True Time. This can be done with district wide or by timekeeping rule.
(2) You mentioned the app. Does that mean that the employees are having the biggest issue on the mobile app? When employees have multiple pay codes to track time against. the primary pay code is indicated in pretenses. This should happen automatically.
(3) Is it a business practice to deny the Time Sheet, wait for the employee to change it, re-approve and re-submit? HR should have the ability to update the pay code from the Employee Profile in the Web.
Thank you!

Remove limit of 100 lines per journal entry on the web
Currently, there is a limit of 100 lines per journal entry when importing on the web. Often times, we import journal entries in PaC because there is no limit on the number of lines in a journal entry when using PaC. It would be great to use the web to import larger journal entries.

Adding a note option on a pay record
When paying for an Extra Duty it would be amazing to be able to put a note in for what the payment is for. I.E. Class Sponsor, Morning Bus Duty, Basketball Coach Stipend, etc. If Skyward could put this note option on the select screen through payroll, we could manually enter the information when paying out for these different stipends.

Invoice approval - payment type
Would it be possible to add the payment type field to the invoice master field on the invoice approval screen? We use various payment methods - wire, ACH and checks. It would be helpful in our approval process to see that the correct payment method has been selected.

Employee Access
When employees leave it would be great to have one place to update their personal email and check a box that all communication goes to that personal email. Instead right now, I have to update the first email in employee profile AND go and update the email in employee access and then send them another account reset link just for them to keep access. In addition, it would be awesome to have a box for departing staff that says "grant employee access until......" we could then fill in a date and forget it. Instead right now, I have to somehow…

Street Names
Please add a way to clean up the "Street Name" list for addresses. It would be ideal to be able to merge the existing street name when someone has entered many varieties and spellings of the same street name.

Attachments Added to Receiving should follow into AP and show attached to invoice as well
If an invoice is attached in the Receiving Record, then once you update Pending Receiving in Accounts Payable then the attachment should follow. This way you can see the attachment if you are looking at the invoices or the PO. Right now it's just seen as an attachment to the PO. If you attach the invoice into Invoice Entry and not Receiving then you only see the attachment when looking at the invoices and it's not attached to the PO. We need it seen in both places.

Add Ability to Schedule Direct Deposit Email Processing
Currently there is no option to schedule the Direct Deposit Email that goes out on pay day. The ability to schedule this a few days before would be beneficial so staff who are on vacation and or out sick do not have to log in to send the email the morning of payroll.
16 votesHello! Scheduling Direct Deposit emails is current functionality. You can set this up two different ways. If you just sent your Direct Deposit emails recently, you can go into “My Print Queue” (upper right hand corner of your screen). You will see a Report Description with “Send Direct Deposit Emails”. Highlight the row by clicking on it and then click on Tasks on the right hand side. You will then click on Schedule This, which will prompt you to choose which days of the week, months of the year, etc. to run the scheduled task. Once you are finished click Save. If you do not have any recent Direct Deposit Emails sent, once you run your next Payroll and you send the notification you will have the same record in your Print Queue which will allow you to setup your scheduled task with the same steps above. Thank you and…

My Employee's Time Off Per Week - Widget
It looks like currently the My Employee's TIme Off Per Week widget is only programmed to look at individuals directly under the current supervisor and not the individuals underneath the people below the individuals.
Our time off requests in Skyward first go the Payroll Secretary, then the Administrator. At this time, only the Secretary has access to see all staff in their building via a quick glance of My Employee's Time Off Per Week. It would be helpful if Administrators could see all staff that they complete an approval for within the My Employee's Time Off Per Week widget (not…

Web Invoice Processing retention field
Have the ability to retain an account number in the Web invoice entry. PAC would automatically pop up the last used number so if I am entering 20 food service invoices I don't have to re-type the same account number 20 times.

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.
