Data Mining Reports to Print Balances for More Than a 12 Month Span
Currently all data mining reports allow you to ask it to print an unencumbered or unencumbered remaining balance. However, the remaining balance is only for the final year that you are asking the report to print for. So if you have a fund (which most of us do have funds that run more than 12 months) that runs July 1, 2018 and ends December 2019 (or later), your available balance will never be correct since your fund runs beyond the 12 month period. It will give you the available balance based upon January 2019 through December 2019 but won't include…

List detailed instructions on how to use the Texas Department of Public Safety fields
Skyward has the platform under Texas State Reporting to manage the Texas Department of Public Safety. The only thing is, I can not find instructions on how to use this platform.
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea.
I’ve attached the DPS Processing Manual recently created by our State and Federal Reporting Department to this response. It will be published in SkyDoc by the end of the week.
In the future, this type of request should be submitted via a Service Call.
The Product Ideas Portal is a platform to submit ideas to enhance the Software Product rather than documentation.
Thank you!

Calculate retirement hours based on number of checks remaining
Currently an employee who joins us after the first payroll period applicable to their position the retirement hours on their pay code are populated based on the 20 or 24 checks. ie: employee works 90 days at 6 hpd=540 total hrs. The retirement hours on the pay code populates as 27 (divided by 20 checks) versus 54 based on 10 checks left.
I find that since the information we used to use to see the number of days on the position tab in PAC was removed (grrrr) we now have to go to WEB open that employee, choose assignment and…10 votesThank you for submitting this idea to the Ideas Portal.

Create way to clone a fund in order to create a new fund.
In order to create a new fund in the system you have to manually add the fund and all the accounts (Equity/Liability/Rev/Exp/Cash) to the new fund. You also have to bounce back and forth between Web and PAC. It would be nice to have a clone option for a fund available that way you choose a fund option that's already created, and clone it in order to create the new fund. All accounts will already be there and you just need to rename/number the accounts.
5 votesThere is a process in Skyward to clone funds in order to create a new fund.
On the Web, navigate to Account Management, Product Set Up, Utilities and select “Mass Add Account Transaction” Once you’ve run through that utility and reviewed the data you process it using the “Mass Add Accounts” utility.
Here are links to the SkyDoc:
NOTE: We recommend submitting a Service Call to get assistance with running these utilities.

See adjusted duration on time-off request
Sometimes an employee may submit their time off request but it's for the wrong duration. Example, a Para submitted 3 hours of sick time off for a dr. appointment but came back earlier than expected. The time off was already fully approved so I adjusted the duration on their profile. When the employee goes into Employee Access, they can see the adjusted duration when they select Time Off and then "My Status". However, if they go into Time Off and then "My Requests", it will show the originally submitted duration. Can we make both sections of Time off reflect the…

Vendor Req, PO's, Inv, Checks button screen selection
I regularly use the Req, PO's, Inv, Check button in Vendor Browse. Please allow us to clone and organize the columns as to what is most pertinent to the user. I would also like o see the po number used if the invoice was entered this way.

Print W2's for anyone that does not reply to Electronic
Print W2's for everyone again that does not choose electronic in the current year. Do not override the system and go back and look at previous years and not print their W2 if they ever chose the electronic option. It was a great idea, BUT if I have a retired teacher who is now subbing, they do not have access to Employee Access. Therefore they can not change their election from a previous year from electronic to paper. And the Electronic holds, even though the sub no longer has employee access.

Calendar Code Mass Change
With Calendar Code Mass Change it would be super helpful, and TIME saving, to either be able to mass change multiple calendars at the same time or, better yet, have it be part of the update from payroll process so that we can do both at the same time.

What specifically are you trying to mass change on multiple calendars at the same time?

student groups
We have set up groups for students in TA. We need the function to be able to run the reports that are in the system and filter them by the groups we have added. Example purple group, yellow group and virtual group to be able to run grade sheet reports.

Search for checks by check # or vendor
Without printing a report - we need a quick way to search for checks that we have processed. The ability to look up a check by check number or vendor name would be very helpful.

PAYROLL AP - WIRE INVOICES
Instead of payroll producing one invoice for each deduction code, we need an option implemented to combine all payroll invoices for all codes into one invoice if they have the same vendor.
I think this could be done either with an option on the deduction code setup or even in the payroll general settings for Payroll Check options.
this would help reduce the number of wire transactions created since they are normally paid in one group and make reconciliation on the Checks easier for the business manager.
4 votesThank you for submitting this request.
We suggest you try this:
In PaC, go to System Administration, Financial Management, Financial Management Config, Accounts Payable. Make sure the box “Combine Vendor For Wire Transfers” is checked.
Thank you!

Add a warning flag to requisitions that do not have an attachment and to the approver
We would like a warning flag to pop up when an employee submits a requisition and does not have an attachment(quote/invoice). We would like another warning for the approver if they approve a requisition without an attachment (quote/invoice). Our staff are to attach the quote/invoice and our admin are supposed to look at the quote/invoice, but that doesn't always happen. Thank you!

Credit card transactions pdf
Would it be possible to get the credit card transaction to appear somewhere on the PO? We attach the receipts to the transaction but are not able to view these documents on the PO. That is a tremendous amount of work that takes place in order to attach receipts to a transaction and then not be able to view it later withing the po. It takes me 21 clicks to attach a receipt.

Substitute Rate Table Types
In Substitute Tracking, "Detailed Transactions" allow the ability to edit the "Sub Type". This is needed when a long term sub switches to a short term sub mid pay period. For example they could be a long term sub at $160 per day for one week and the second week sub in regular short term positions for $120 per day. Also in this same area allow editing of Retirement hours. Some of our subs are also employees and do need to have retirement hours recorded on them.

Wire Transfer Reference # Set Up
When setting up Wire Transfer Reference # for new fiscal year - allow the district to edit the first four digits to a larger number. With the start of the 20-21 SY - our ACH & Wire Transfer number both begin in the 20xxxxxxx digits which will make it more difficult to recognize whether a voucher is an ACH payment or a Wire Transfer payment. We use Wire Transfer numbers for all of our p-card payments.
