  1. 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.

  2. Fixed Asset Reporting

    Please also add the Format tab like you have in Human Resources with the option to "Print all Information on one line per item" This would save a lot of time on the manipulation of the Current Value report. Please also add the ability to send all Fixed asset reports and Data Mining directly to Excel

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Clear "Imported to Worksheet on Date" when transaction deleted from worksheet

    When a transaction detail record is imported into a worksheet and then deleted would it be possible to clear the "Imported to Worksheet on Date" fields. The only solution at this point is to delete the whole transaction record and create a new one.

    We are trying work on automating our processes but we are running into issues when there are more docks then how much the pay is for. If an employee has $3000 gross but needs $4000 in Docks then we carry that forward to the next month. How it works now is we have to delete the…

  6. 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.

  8. Fix the 'Tab Selection Order' and screen spacing when entering True Time

    A) On True Time>Quick Tracking when there is second entry, but strangely NOT when there is only one entry, the tab order causes the screen to jump around when trying to enter data, instead of the fields being in screen order 1,2,3,4,5 when pressing the tab key they are in 1,3,4,5,2 order.
    B) The time entry window (B) size is a fixed size, and the extra padding added to the 'start time' and 'end time' fields forces the inner form to always require a scroll to enter data. This is confusing and an unnecessary hinderance to a quick and seamless…

  9. Pulling Active only positions in DM

    Need the system to read behind the scenes if a person has terminated out of one job and started another in order for the one position the employee is currently active in is the only position that pulls through on a DM report. EXAMPLE: Employee started the year as custodian at Buck Lake Elem and terminated that assignment on 10/5/2020 and started a new position as a Building Maintenance Supervisor on 10/6/2020 through the end of the fiscal year. The only position that should pull through on a DM report of any kind is the Building Maintenance Supervisor position.

  10. Have the ability to print my check stubs in Alphabetical order.

    I would like to have the ability to print my direct deposit pay check stubs in alphabetical order. At this time, they will only print in order of check location. I am surprised that this is not an option. Thank you for your consideration.

  11. Time off hours should match FTE import/Employee Management

    It would be great if the time off hours would auto update to match each imports FTE instead of having to manually update for all of those who have changed each school year. Manually updating Insurance Tracker FTE as well as time off hours.

  12. Requisition Notification Option for Selected Individiuals

    I would like the ability to select certain purchase order/requisition groups to be set-up to receive notifications of when there are approvals waiting for them. This capability would be much better as an individual option instead of a district-wide option.

  13. vendor account number information efficiency

    Most businesses use account numbers and invoice numbers 99% of the time when working with their clients. If we are taking the time to enter an account number for our vendors into the 1099 Form Section the checkmark should auto populate on the Print Account Number on A/P Check Stub and PO. This should be the same for A/P Contact information.

  14. Ability to mass remove selected employees from org chart

    Org Chart
    Can you please add a mass process to remove several employees under an employee at one time from the org chart. For example summer school or additional assignments that are short term however, they're setup in True Time to keep track of the pay and hours by clocking in.

  15. Tie 403B Roth and Pre-Tax Deduction Amounts and Percentages Together

    Our District allows staff to make pre-tax and post tax contributions to their 403B account. These are currently separate codes with their own contribution limit. However, in the real world, employees are allowed to contribute X amount/percent to each, but each counts toward ONE contribution limit. Our plan allows staff to make changes to their contributions anytime in the year, so the code-specific limits aren't doing us any good. It's not as simple as splitting the limit evenly between the two codes.

  16. Fix Print Screen

    If you are in the employee profile and try to print a time sheet from TrueTime the print screen does not work properly. It prints to the size of the window instead of the size of the information. For example if you have the window full screen it will print the time sheet very tiny. If you have the window shrunk so the it is the size of the timesheet it will print correctly. Please fix so that it auto resizes when you are trying to print so you don't end up with super tiny unreadable timesheet printouts. See attachment…

  17. Check Image and ACH Advice of Deposit Image Attached to AP Transactions

    With the goal of going paperless, we would like to see the Check and ACH Advice of Deposit Images attached to each payment as part of AP process. (Similar to the way that employee letters are posted to each employee's record.)

    The image of the check and advice of deposit is requested frequently by our auditors and as part of the grant reporting process.

    Currently, we print the check image and file it, but with the transition to paperless we are saving the PDF file for each check run. However, this still involves searching through the PDF file to obtain…

    Thank you for submitting this idea. We’d love to see more support from the Skyward user community before considering this idea for development.

    We’d also like to better understand this request. Could you tell us more about who would be using an employee type filter and why it will be useful.

    Thank you!

  19. Do not drop the attachment when applying a PO to a pcard transaction.

    Do not drop the attachment when applying a PO to a pcard transaction. It would be nice if the attachments included in the PO would stick when applying that PO to a pcard transaction. Then we don't have to reattach the invoice when that transaction finally comes through a few weeks after the order was placed.

  20. Capital Asset with multiple PO's or invoices

    Many projects are paid for over a period of time. Currently, you have two choices - 1) when adding an asset, only attach one PO or invoice and add notes or 2) add multiple records for what should be considered one asset. The second option is the one our district had done in the past. I think it would be extremely beneficial to be either to link multiple PO's/invoices and to be able to merge assets
