Cash Receipts Approval Process
We are a large district with numerous schools making bank deposits and submitting Cash Receipts in Account Management. Like Budget Transfers and Journal Entries, we would like to see an Approval process put in place so the finance office can review and verify the Cash Receipt transaction before posting it.

Notification when PO gets approved
It would be nice to have an option to send an email to whoever is in charge of doing the ordering of newly approved purchase orders. For example, I do the ordering, but I am not part of the approval process. When a requisition finishes getting the approvals it moves into a batch purchase order. Currently someone has to tell me that the purchase order is out there or I have to physically go check if there is something new. Most people assume that I am notified, but I am not so new purchase orders can sit out in batch…
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea. We suggest trying this instead:
(1) A Requisition/PO Listing report template can be created for just Batch status POs (WF\PU\RP\RP).
(2) After the report is executed, from My Print Queue, select the report and press the Tasks button.
(3) On the next screen there is a Schedule This button to create a scheduled task for the report.
Please see attached screenshots for visual examples.
Thank you!

Fillable PDF
It would be advantageous to have a way when using online/custom forms to be able to have the employee complete a fillable PDF, save it automatically into their profile. They can only answer the questions on the designated form and we wouldn't need to worry about them attaching a document to their profile that wasn't intended. Currently Skyward allows you to send a fillable PDF to the employee but there is no way for them to save it other than to their device and then uploading it into their employee profile. This could be a nightmare with all the documents…

Option to add attachments during new vendor set up process
Within new vendor set up, we would like the last screen of the set up to give the option (not required) of adding attachments (either 1 or multiple), that would then be attached/available under the ‘Attachments’ tab for that vendor. This will help during vendor entry so employees do not have to re-search the newly created vendor to add appropriate attachments, as most vendors have attachments at the initial set up.

SBAA Check Reconciliation
We upload our SBAA checks into our banks Positive Pay system. One problem is the vendor name for individuals is not the same as the payee name. We have to manually convert the names as shown on the check.
Could Skyward add an additional column in SBAA check reconciliation to show the "Payee Name"? The Payee Name column is in the check reconciliation for AP and Payroll checks.4 votesThank you for submitting this idea.

FASTTRACK - DATA MINING - YEARS OF EXPERIENCE FIELD
Would like to be able to select the Years of Experience from the Available Fields on the Field Selection screen in the FastTrack Applicant Processing DataMining.
When viewing Applications from the Position screen, one of the views is Years Of Experience. I would like to be able to pull that information in FastTrack Applicant Processing DataMining.

The Non-Profile Years of Experience located at the bottom of the Config are not included in Data Mining, and this is specifically called out in the Config, see second screenshot.

Add a column in BOTW for "run rate projection"
We need a column in budgeting that represents a "run rate projection" for the year. It answers the question, "If you continue spending at the year's current rate, this is the amount you are projected to spend by year-end." This column would take the monthly spending average and multiply it by 12 months to get the "run rate projection". This helps with end of year budget amendments and lets budget managers know how their spending is going.

Thanks for the updates
I really appreciate the simple updates for the current school year: being able to organize students in the list by first or last name is so helpful when I'm doing online grading with Moodle or Google classroom and the scores automatically go into their spreadsheets by first name. So that has been really helpful. Another thing I really appreciate that you've done this year is adding the "all absent" button. Being able to quickly select all students "absent," "tardy," or "present" saves a ton of time and really streamlines this process I need to do quickly at the beginning of…

Vendor Payments Report > 1099 by SSN/EIN
Allow us to sort the report in alphabetical order to match the 1099 report for more efficient double checking. Also, bold out the individual total amount lines for easier viewing. I understand we can send it to Excel, but it is harder to print everything we want to see on one page which means we need to format the report and when we do this the individual line item for invoice totals do not show up. Just make the original report user friendly in an efficient manner.

Student side talk to the AP Side
We do lots of refunds to parents - especially this year when meals were free. It would be so much easier if you could pull up the parent name and address and add it to AP like do an employee.
4 votesThank you for submitting this idea request. We have two suggestions to help assist with paying parents and guardians via AP.
First option: If you’re looking to pay a few parents or guardians, you can navigate to Financial Management > Vendor > Add a Vendor. When using a name that is already set up on the student side as an emergency contact and guardian, the system will find that person and allow you to add them as a vendor directly from that guardian.
Second option: If you’re looking to pay many parents or guardians, we suggest using the Vendor Import. This can be found by navigating to Financial Management > Vendor > Product Setup > Utilities. The import file has a predefined import format and is tab delimited. It is a traditional import with a preview browse and verification report.
Once the parents or guardians are entered as vendors it…

- Building Administrator and employee receives email notification regarding the change request with an effective date

It looks like you’re looking to set up a new Task workflow. We suggest using Task Manager to accomplish this.

Design a report that will include approved absences and unapproved absences.
I have worked with the Skyward team on scheduling a staff absence report. It ends up that I have to run two separate reports. Is there a way to make this one report?

Online registration 2 emails for staff
On online registration there should be an option for at least 2 staff email addresses to send the notification that an Online registration has been submitted. We have 7 schools in our district and more than 1 person needs to be notified when an Online Registration is submitted. I can have a notification go to 2 people in the NSOE when an Application submitted. This seems like it would be a really easy fix.

Import detail for budget entry (not Payroll from Salary Negotiations)
It would be great to be able to export and import detail budget line items into budget entry (not just budget numbers but the details). Ex: Pencils $500, Paper $1,000, etc.

True Time Pay Code Maintenance
Pay Code Maintenance Setup- I have employees that earn comp time for their primary duty and OT for extra duty. Please have the option to Include Pay towards overtime to "Yes" and the option of "No" to include in Comp Time. Currently, the option defaults to Yes to include in Comp Time and the overtime will not calculate in the worksheet.

TRS ED RECORDS MASS CHANGE
It would be nice to have a mass change button for ED record dates. Kind of like the Employee type mass change. Sometimes the dates change and it would be so much easier to mass change than to do it one by one. Then the system would not create records for them.

Add Credit Card as a Check Type
When entering invoices, I would think choosing to pay the invoice via Credit Card would be similar to Wire, ACH, or Regular check.
Not sure how complex it would be to link the payment type to the Credit Card section for review/submit/approve options. With paperless options increasing, I feel like this is the time to link the two together.
15 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We see the value in this idea and would love to see more support from the Skyward user community prior to considering it for development.
In the meantime, while this idea gathers support, we recommend using the “wire” option for credit card payments.
