  1. Security to the change order status in Ecommerce unordered PO's

    I would like to request for enhancement to add some sort of security to prevent anyone hitting the button for the change order status from the unordered PO only screen in Ecommerce---we lose the PO and cant find it...and then have to start all over.and delete and re-enter..in the future

  2. KS - ADD LINK IN EMAIL FOR TRUE TIME APPROVAL

    I was told that the email notification for True Time Timesheet approval is hardcoded and cannot be modified - which is fine - BUT....it would be most helpful if there was a LINK to click on in the email that would take you to the approval page (like there is for time off requests). Since we don't have student - certified staff do not stay in Skyward - they only get in when they get notified that they have something pending.

  3. Vendor Sort by Category

    Would like to be able to add a category to vendors so we can sort by plumber or t-shirts or office supplies or etc. This can be a District created field. We just need a category drop down in Vendor Browse.

  4. W-4 2020

    The system should now be updated so the default for new employees should be with the W-4 for 2020 as Single with no adjustments. It shouldn't have the prior year defaults and require us to to click on 2020 or after W-4 for every new person going forward. I thought no changes were going to be allowed in the system for prior to the 2020 W-4 form. It should be switched at this point to default to 2020 info and just leave the prior info as viewing if not changed to 2020.

  5. Payroll Reports in Web need option to add the PAC reports

    There are a lot of account distribution reports that we have set up in PAC and use every payroll but are not seeing those reports in Web. The only way it seems to add those reports is to add them manually. I understand there are additional options but could there be something set up to pull in those reports and just add the additional options that are needed.

  7. True Time - Enforce Minimum Out To Lunch Timeframe

    In Timekeeping rules, it would be helpful if there was an option to set a minimum time for Out To Lunch. An option already exists that checks time out to lunch for conversion back to an IN punch, but there are no options available to not permit employees to punch back in until they have taken their full lunch break.

    This oversight is costing our district quite a bit in overtime/comp time due to employees failing to take their mandatory 30 minute lunch and accruing additional time throughout the week.

    I envision an additional option under the "Lunches are paid…

  8. What employees see when looking at Time Sheet History

    An employee is questioning why his Double time hours were not showing on his time sheet history. The time sheet clearly shows that he should be paid for 7 hours of Double Time for hours worked on Sunday and 7.5 hours of half time that he worked on other days during the week. However, when he looks at his history of the time sheet (while it is waiting for payroll) it is only showing the time and 1/2 hours and not the double time. This is the response I received from Skyward on this issue:

    Discrepancy in time sheet viewing…

  9. Add Background date for Wis Licenses to Certification Detail Information or Name Information field in Employee Letter

    DPI requires a background check every five years for lifetime licenses. It would be nice to be able to add that field to letters we post to employees in Employee Access ~ so that they can verify/track that date on their contract letter.

  10. Option to auto create vendor on employee add - individually not mass

    I would like to see an option when creating a new employee to create a vendor at the same time for that employee. However I don't want this to be a system wide/mass add option. We don't want to add every employee as a vendor, just certain ones. A check box during the employee creation would be great. This would trigger the vendor to be created and carryover ACH info to vendor profile automatically.

  12. Other Ways to Search for a PO or Requisition

    Add other ways to search for PO's and Req's besides the PO or Req number. Specifically by vendor, amount or date span. Most of our users (other than our AP person) are looking for a PO to view what was ordered so they can reorder, to know a price, to know a quantity, to find out an account number, etc. but they don't know the PO or Req# to search for it in Skyward.

  13. Save eCommerce Requisitions

    Give the ability to save eCommerce Requisitions once started. Sometimes you will be entering an eCommerce order and you will have 50 things that you want to get. Once you hit the submit button it will crash and you loose everything. It would also be nice if you could save it that you could come back and make any changes for example you decided you only need 5 boxes of pens instead of 10. If you had the ability to edit, it would take about 20 seconds instead of 20 minutes to fix.

  14. Choose a date span for Summary Reports

    Currently we can only choose a date span when running a data mining report if it is a Detailed Report. We need to be able to run a Summary Report by date span too.

  15. Certification details

    Currently can enter the issue/expiration dates for the certification master section. Need the ability to enter issue/expiration dates on the certification detail section in order to determine infield/outfield status. Example is a teacher who gets an additional certification area 3 years into the certificate but should not be reported as infield for that area before the addition area was received.

  16. add-on reporting

    Add-on codes need to use the state code defined to report Florida additional compensation information. If you don't use the pay-code of the assignment the hourly rate calculation is inaccurate which means the additional paycode tab is of no value because of the wrong rate. Another option if different paycode values must be maintained is to have a check-box that says these codes should be included in the calculation of hourly rate when transferring to the additional paycodes. If this option is used, it needs to also follow the additional pay code screen and allow a box to mark so…

  17. Salary Negotiations Plan Security

    We would like an additional layer of security/configuration added to the SN Plans. Need to allow users to continue maintaining under the Base Plan but not any of the Freeze Plans. This would help prevent users from accidentally updating the wrong plan both under Employee Profile and directly in Salary Negotiations.

  18. Is there a way to mark a position/assignment in EM as the primary assignment? Pulls in coach job not teacher job when I want primary job onl

    Is there a way to mark a position/assignment in EM as the primary assignment, like you can mark a pay record as primary? When I run Data Mining reports data being pulled in is all their assignments (coaching, extra duty) and not just the primary (teacher) when I want primary job only. I have to always pull in multiple assignments and then edit the excel document so I only have their primary assignment and not all the extras. I do not want to create multiple plans, I like to view all of an employee's assignments for a year at once.…

  19. Option to reprint vouchers in Accounts Payable or a system setting to not move forward until opened

    In Kansas, our PR and AP clerks are both having issues remembering to print their vouchers while doing PR and AP. My PR clerk is trying to get into the habit of saving those each time but forgets to do that and print them sometimes. Is there a way to go back and reprint vouchers that you know of? If not then could a setting be added to not move onto the next section in AP until vouchers are printed or at least opened. This is the option if you don't print checks, but would like to see that added…
