Add Individual Select
In the substitute tracking under the Third Party Import cross references for Absent Amounts add the option to do individual selection.
Situation: I have part time employees (custodians, aides, cooks) who are using TrueTime. This import brings in their time off, but is bringing in it wrong because the absent amount is cross referenced to their employee type. We use the same employee type (Custodians) for both part time and full time staff.
What is wrong: because it does not have an individual selection it is going to force me to create multiple employee types that are unnecessary (part time…

mass change for employee type
Mass change employee types and in-activate via processing list. Rather than have to manually change 100+ terms at the end of a school year it would be helpful to select employees based on term dates that have been entered and change from active to inactive and to change the employee type to an XTCH etc.

Add filter option in toolbar under Fast Track - Position Processing - Positions
The option to create an Excel is in the toolbar. However, there are several columns that may not be used or would like to prioritize into the view. It does have a dump to excel option but to dump and organize it every time is time consuming where a filter can be created, saved and used multiple times. The toolbars should be consistent throughout Skyward.

allow for sorts and filters in unapproved absences
Please create sort options that can be saved in reports for unapproved absences. To be able to sort by date, approver etc would be very helpful and approve efficiency by not having to drop all down to excel and then sort.

Schedule Mass Assign of a Status Code
When Volunteers apply we assign them a separate status code for processing on a daily basis. HR will manually run this utility daily to move the applications into the view of the coordinators at the schools for processing. We would like to have the ability to schedule this utility to automatically run twice a day. Currently we have been advised by Skyward that is not available.

Change positive/negative sign for Revenue/Expense.
It would be nice to give users the option to "flip the signs" so Revenues would show as a positive and Expenses would show as a negative. This would make the Data Mining reports easier for "non-accountants" to understand. We recently moved from a different software program to Skyward, and some of our users (building secretaries) are confused by the way revenues and expenses are reflected.

Org Chart & Employee Management
Employee Management & Org Charts
Can you please code the Org Charts to automatically add employees in the org chart under the correct supervisor, when a change is made in their Employee Management? The current method is inefficient. What is the point of creating a Org Chart using Employee Management if it doesn't automatically add the employee under the supervisor? It is extremely tasking to have to continuously make changes when an employee changes building (supervisors).

Not display Inactive Bank Cash Account for Cash Receipts
When entering Cash Receipts, it would be helpful to not see the inactive bank cash accounts. If we could have one of the following it would be helpful.
1. On the bank cash account, add a checkbox to 'not use for cash receipts'
2. Or just have the inactive cash accounts not display as an option.7 votes -

Print Commodity Codes on Purchase Orders (EDGAR "Like-Type" Items)
The TEA letter from November 2018 regarding micro purchase thresholds under EDGAR have made it more important than ever to accurately measure our purchasing levels in like-type categories. Because of this, more districts will begin utilizing the Commodity Code feature in Skyward. Having the ability to print commodity codes on POs will greatly assist our end users with determining which commodity code to use on new requisitions.

Email notification to HR for more than one status code on an applicant. (490 and 495)
I would like to be able to set it up in Skyward so that I, as an HR Director, receive an email when an applicant's status code is changed to a 490. I already receive one for the 495 but would prefer to have both.

Purchasing Reports
When running a Purchasing Report (specifically PO Payment History and Account Number Sequence reports - I would like to see the option to select a Fiscal Year so that when you have opened your new fiscal year you can run reports of purchase orders for the current fiscal year only instead of getting both fiscal year's PO's.
13 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback.
Where do you expect the Fiscal Year to be applied? Would it apply to the Fiscal Year on the Purchase Order? Or would it apply to the Fiscal Year on the Payment? Or would the Fiscal Year apply to something else?
Thank you!

Time Off Request in Excess of Hours Scheduled
Is there a way or could you implement a way for employees to not be able to request time off when they have already worked their scheduled hours? For instance: Jane is schedule to work 40 hours per week. She leave 2 hours early on Tuesday, but ends up working an additional 2 hours through out the course of the week. Therefore she did not need to enter a time off request. Since she has entered one and it was approved she will now earn 3 hours of comp time.

Electronic 941
It would be nice if we could upload electronic 941's. Your website indicates that you have 2,000+ customers so that means that there are over 8,000 paper forms going to the IRS every year. Other software companies are doing this, why not Skyward?
84 votesStarting with the 05.20.02.00.11 & 05.20.06.00.02 addendums both available on 6/25/2020 a new option will be available to populate the IRS Form 941 with data from the 941 Report/Extract. Presently, this is only available for the current (2020) form year.
Thank you!

Please put the view option back on the position tab for assignments!!
As a payroll specialist I was consistently/constantly using the Position View button to check information and to be able to answer questions for employees such as is there an add on to the pay base, what is the hourly rate, were the dates correct that were entered in Employee Management etc. The view tab was removed as it was considered an "enhancement" as it was moving all EM parts to the web but this is terrible for anyone in payroll. Please please please put it back until all of payroll is moved to the Web.
8 votesThank you for submitting this ideas request.
We definitely could have gotten in front of this better that these buttons were going to be taken away and we will make sure next time we decide to take any buttons away for data integrity and efficiency, we will make sure we inform our valued customers way ahead of time.
The reason we committed to this enhancement is because Employee Management is no longer supported in PaC. The system did not handle the new salary calculation method and new scenarios correctly such as additional pay codes and add-ons, which ultimately could have shown inaccurate data for employees.
There are many efficiencies to using the web. Example: currently if you are running payroll or running a report and want to look at assignment information in PaC you would have to back all the way out of what you were doing to go to…
