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.
Thank you!

Add an additional associated pay record to the contract maintenance screen due to covid
Due to tracking of COVID pay, we need and additional associated pay record added to the contract tab. If we use the only one that is there for COVID pay, there is no place to also associate retro pay. Please create this ASAP! Urgent request

Attachment to emailed PO's
When attaching documents to a requisition, there is an option to check a box that says "send attachment with PO". It would be helpful if the default to this was "yes" - with the box checked. Staff do not realize they should check that box in order to include the attachment. 95% of the time we would include the attachment with the emailed PO. This would avoid us having to go into each requisition that has an attachment. menu path WF/PU/MR/RE/AT - when you click add file or link.
8 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We suggest using Skycoder to make the “Send Attachment with PO” default to “Yes”.
If you don’t have someone at the district to create JavaScript, we can provide this code to use in Skycoder:
// On add of a file, initialize Email with purchase orders to checked
if (document.getElementById(‘vMaintOption’).value == ‘add’) {
$(‘#cEmailPO’).prop(‘checked’, true);
}Thank you!

Epayable payment type
There needs to be a check type for EPayables that processes like a check without printing the check. Currently in SMS our only options are to use the check type "wire" or "manual" which causes the cash to hit on the date that the invoice is posted instead of when the payment is made. This creates the need for journal entries to post the cash in the month it was actually spent. With the increasing need to be paperless, this is essential to properly process payment without having to print a check.

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.

I would like deductions and benefits set up as ONE code in ONE area, with a deduction and benefit listed separately on the same screen.

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…

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.

Accounting for wires
Wondering if this is already posted somewhere else, might not just be wires. The Accounting for Wires doesn't mirror payable activity, particularly important across FY.
When I'm batch updating wire payments with 2019-20 expenses, I need to do so with a 6/30/20 posting date to keep the expense in that FY. The wire has taken place in July. At the time of processing the check register, I would expect the payment to reflect as a July credit to cash, debit to the AP liability.
Since it doesn't I have to now JE my wires in July into the Liability on…

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.

Inactivate Pay Codes
A way to inactivate old pay codes no longer in use, delete would be great but just inactive so they can't be chosen would be perfect.
10 votesWe suggest using the Pay Record Audit, which can inactivate pay records that do not fall in line with an entered control date. To access the Pay Record Audit, navigate to PaC, Human Resources, Payroll, Utilities, and Pay Record Audit.

Budget line item entry via Quick Key not the entire account number
Add the Quick Key Feature to any area the Account number is listed in order to quickly enter the account number. Whether this is budget entry, revision, or in general financial management. The point of a quick key is efficiency, but it is not available where it could be utilized.

Ability to attach payment backup in AP Payment screen
We currently have ability to attach documentation to an invoice but not to the payment itself. In many instances, particularly in the payment of payroll invoices, MANY invoices makeup one payment and is time-prohibitive to attach to each invoice. It would be helpful to have the attach option to be also available in the AP payment screen.

Could you provide a working example, and what you would expect to change? Could you explain with the working example why each update would be helpful for your process? We’d like to better understand this request.

Rolling Monthly Report
The current "Ranges" option under the field parameters in data mining only allows the ability to give the total of the monthly range and display in one column. It would he helpful to expand this option so we can select a month range, but have the report give us individual monthly totals in separate columns. This would be different than the auto-generate since that is limited by the fiscal year. This enhancement would allow us to easily create a rolling monthly history report without having to add multiple fields because we could now define the monthly range for the report.
