  1. Add Req Entry Option to make Commodity Codes a REQUIRED field on YDA/YMA requisitions.

    More and more districts want to use Commodity Codes, but so often the field is forgotten when the detail is being added.

    Add a Purchasing > Setup > Configuration > Req Entry Option to make Commodity Code Field a required field on each line item for YDA, or entire PO for YMA and/or Blanket POs.

  2. Receiving Records, quantities remaining

    In Purchasing > Purchasing Activity under the Receiving Records, it would be beneficial to see the records added together to give the remaining quantities yet to be received. I think adding an extra column after "PO Quantity received" titled something like "Line Nbr. Quantity remaining" would be possible.

  3. SBAA - Display "Payee Name as it Appeared" on the Check Reconciliation Screen

    Add the "Display Payee Name as it Appeared on Check" field to the SBAA Check Reconciliation screen. This will allow a more efficient workaround for creating a Positive Pay file for SBAA accounts, until SBAA functionality starts catching up with regular accounting. The user can use the Excel export to get the correct name for a full-match on their Positive Pay file.

  4. Enhancing the "I" View of an Employee's Profile

    Currently the "I" view of an employee's profile does not match what the employee sees through Employee Access. This makes it difficult for our staff to assist employees in locating add-ons attached to their assignment.

    The only other way to see exactly what the employee sees is by Super Using in as the employee in Web Product Setup area.

    We would like the Add-On area to be added in the "I" view of employee profile. We would like it to match, word for word.

  5. SBAA Outstanding Check List

    Create the same reports in SBAA for Account and Check Reconciliation as are available for the District level (Accounts Payable). Currently in SBAA the check reconciliation report will not pull in the correct data if you are trying to generate an Outstanding Check list either for a month in the past or if ANY checks have been cleared in the current month prior to running the Bank Reconciliation. This functionality is available in Accounts Payable.

  6. Time Off Calendar selection in Profile [Web]

    would really love it if the ability to change years when selecting the time off calendar was formatted like it is when you are in the TRS Calculate New member payment date section. the way we do it now is cumbersome by opening it, selecting the filter, finding the calendar, etc. this would make it much more efficient for the times when you need to add or change a calendar manually [which can be often]. thank you for your consideration.

  8. Add security levels to attachments tab in employee profile

    Please add security levels to the attachment tab in employee profile. This will assist us in becoming paperless without having to contract with an outside vendor. We are currently attaching payroll items for the employee to see, current/new TSA election forms, WRS enrollments & terminations, insurance enrollment changes. The current level is wide open so anyone with full access to employee profile can see. Not great but the employees like to see that changes were received and completed. We would love to have security levels added so I could have 4 separate files, Payroll, Human Resources, Medical, and General. Payroll…

    A report is needed that shows task process, user and groups that have access to initiate task processes. In order to obtain this information you must go to each task and review the list of users/groups who can initiate the task.

  10. Ability to select multiple checks when reconciling checks using mass add statement date

    Currently, mass add statement date provides no option to select multiple checks at one time on WF\AP\CR\CR screen in a simple manner (you can use filters, but they are clunky at best). You should be able to select the first check in a range, then press shift & select the last check in a range to select all checks in that range.

  11. Add Utility to import Access Codes to True TIme.

    Currently, must use Create Badge Import with Create Access Code option. Recommend splitting the Create Access Code option from the Badge Import to make it easier to import Access Codes that are not tied to a badge.

  13. Ability to edit the description line once posted.

    In auditing reports, an A/P entry may have been entered correctly with the correct account number, but the description may not have gotten changed from a prior entry and was missed when checking the entries before posting. It would be nice to be given access to just this area (the description) to be able to edit the descripton after the fact so that the entry would not have to be voided and re-entered to be fixed or to have to use a 'note' which does not show on the main screen or reports.

  15. FMLA Tracking - Third Party TO import

    FMLA tracking is more important that ever. FMLA tracking is tied to absence reasons which is perfect. The problem is that when using the third party import, you can only link to TO code and not TO code/Reason combo. This would be desirable.

    The simple work-a-round would be to add the reason code on the edit form to add the reason on this step of the import process. This would require manual intervention, but much easier than currently we need to go to each employee and edited each day from the profile.

    We have web services configured with Frontline, which…

  19. Eligible for Rehire Tab

    We would like to enter in Skyward if a person is eligible for rehire. Is it possible to add a Eligible for Rehire Tab with the option to select Yes or No. Kind of the like the Leave Information Tab. Right now we have to go to our scanned documents to see if a person is eligible rehire.

    We would like the Receipt Totals Report to include the revenue account detail. Currently, the only report we found that gives the revenue account for the accounting department is the receipt totals report. We would also like it to print on the receipt totals page. Thanks for considering.
