  1. Credit Cards - Receipt attachment not following to AP Invoice entry / Vendor Profile

    Currently the credit card attachments do not follow through to the Vendor Profile once processes in AP. The only way you are able to see them are through the credit card activity. It would be helpful if the attachment would follow through to Accounts Payable invoice screen and then to the Vendor Profile so we wouldn't have to attach them manually. Thanks!

  3. COMMODITY CODES - YMA on requisitions & COMMODITY CODES on A/P invoices

    We would like to use commodity codes but don't due to the YDA limitation. 90% of our purchase orders are YMA with many lines of detail on each requisition. Having to put an account code for every line item and selecting individual commodity codes per line item is very cumbersome. If one commodity code to could be assigned to a PO via the YMA process it would be helpful. Also, an option to add commodity codes in A/P would help when there is no PO associated with an invoice/payment. Then, we could run reports showing purchases and payments by commodity…

  5. Include option to print budgetary reports to Word.

    In PaC, we were able to export the report to Word or Excel. Now, with the latest updated, we are only able to export to Excel. I know we can convert the Adobe printed report to Word, but that is an enhancement that you have to purchase with Adobe and if I want to combine a summary & detail reports into one file, the process is more complex and doesn't work well....print to Adobe, convert to Word, then do the same to the other report, but when you copy one report to the other, the reports headers get funky. You…

  6. Add Account Balance Info/Graphic to Credit Card Approval

    Could Skyward please consider adding the account balance info and/or pie graph that displays when approved Requisitions on the Credit Card approval screen as well? It is really difficult to approve or deny a purchase when I have no way to see how much is in the account/s.

    Screen shot of the two screens attached; one of the Requisition Approval Screen with the account details and chart and one of the CC Approval Screen without the account details.

  7. In Data Mining, please add the option back to create a Raw Text file. This makes it easier/faster to parse data.

    In Data Mining, please add the option back to create a Raw Text file. This makes it easier/faster to parse data. We lost this ability when Data Mining was removed from PaC. Thank you.

    With the 05.20.10.00.01 release which became available on 10/8/2020, notifications can be configured to display for Unsubmitted Time Sheets. The notification will be displayed as an alert in the header of the screen. The number of weeks to look back can also be configured. An option has been added to the Timekeeping Rule to display a notification to the employee when they have unsubmitted time sheets. Turn it on and enter a number of weeks.

    Thank you!

  9. I want to run a report based on the Notes section in the Employee Profile

    I add notes under the Notes button in the Employee Profile as there is nowhere else to put extra information and, within the notes, you have to choose a category. I would like to be able to run a report based on the category. Example: We put our employees 5-year, 10-year, etc. recognition in there under a category of Recognition but I can't find a way to pull a report based on the Recognition category so I can see who has been recognized in the past and should be again in the future. I also put in a category for…

  11. Under personnel tab - comment section, it does not allow allow enough room to enter comments.

    Under personnel tab, comment section, can you allow more room to type text in the comment field? There is not enough room and we document many things under that tab for employees.

  12. Tab function work across all accounts(same with Jornal Entries)

    when user is entering cash receipts...enters account strips and pressing tabs will select account and tab to details when using account strips with A however tab function doesn't work when using account strips with Type R or Type E.

    Think it may be a programmatic function of the tab function error message that says account doesn't exist but it does and you can see it in the drop down box ...just not selected when tab key is pressed.

  15. W2 message text

    On the Options for Receiving my 202x From W2 screen, consider adding more text to the second option. We'd like reminder to staff to make sure we have their correct address. Perhaps something like: "I want to receive a printed copy of my 202x Form W2 from my employer. My address is up-to-date in Skyward."

  16. Make Contract Amounts update Correctly

    When you are trying to update a Contract Amount on someone's profile under the Contract tab, it will update the Contract Amount, but not the Per Diem Amount. It should update both fields and give you the option to over ride the Per Diem Amounts. That should be fairly rare that you would need them to be different amounts.

  17. Email Group for New Positions posted in FastTrack

    We're wanting to determine if it's possible to set up notifications for this use case. The idea is to set up a mailing group (to which people can add themselves) that receives email notifications any time a job is posted, thus preventing people from being unaware of a job offering without manually checking FastTrack.

  18. Add a COMMENT field to Assignment

    Add a 30 character free-form text field to EMS/SN > Assignment Maintenance > Assignment Detail .

    This field would be used by HR to flag assignments changes throughout the year that are currently managed outside of Skyward.

    Most HR departments keep a separate spreadsheet of the internal transfers that have happened during the year; whether the employee resigned, retired or transfer, included who may have replaced the employee.

    Associated updates::
    1. Assignment Browse should e updated to include the Comment field.
    2. View: Staff Assignment> FILTERS should have COMMENT has a field that could be rearranged on a custom filter.…

  19. Pop Up Message for True Time

    It would be great if you could create a pop up message option for True Time Quick Entry. A lot of our employees do not open the Employee Access screen often and this would be a great way to get needed messages to them.

  20. View Amount for Cash Receipts

    When looking at your cash receipts history, there isn't a column for the amount of the receipt. So if you have multiple receipts for the same vendor, you have to open each receipt in the Cash Receipts History screen in order to find out if that is the one you are looking for.
