  1. Add Option to Select Additional Assignments to End when Ending Main Assignment

    Allow HR staff the option to end date additional assignments on an employee when they end the main assignment. Currently, staff has to go into each assignment to add an end date. Would be great to be able to select each assignment at once and add an end date to all.

  2. 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.

  3. Cash Recipts - please add the Created by field in Reports under WIP

    Please add the capability to see who entered a WIP status cash receipt when you click on the reports. We are moving all of our locations from SBAA to Financial management and with no approval process in the cash receipts module, I need to verify the receipts and make budget revisions prior to posting the batch. The report tool is helpful however I have to manually write down which batch I want to select for in the report screen.

  4. Import and Export of HR data

    It would be nice to have the Skybuild feature in Employee/HR and payroll portion like the Student side has.

  5. Re-print expense reimbursement

    It would be nice if you could re-print the expense reimbursement invoice after it has been moved to history. Currently we can "view" the reimbursement but there is no great way to re-print the reimbursement invoice looking the same.

  6. 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.

  7. We would like to see a link on the "Move to Profile" screen to show the "Reference Check".

    We have general postings that include multiple assignments to be viewed by all Principals. In looking at the Move to Profile screen it only shows the ex: Teacher label. With the link revealing the Reference Check, this will give us the ability to see what the Principal has actually assigned to the applicant on the general posting.

  8. 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.

  9. Allow for a temporary approver to be substituted on the org chart

    We will have a True Time and Time Off approver out for a 2 month period. It would be beneficial to have the ability to add a temporary approver while that person is out. The temporary approver is already on the org chart with their own employees, so we don't want to combine the employees under one approver.

  10. 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.

  12. W-4 Step order

    Change the screen for entering the 2020 W-4 information so the steps are shown in order. It currently shows step 3, 4a, 4b, nonresident, then step 2. When reviewing W-4 elections, a person looks from the top of the form to the bottom and fields for entering should be in the same order as the W-4 form.

  14. Change a Order From/Remit to Vendor to Order From only - KS

    It would be nice if you could change an "Order From/Remit To" vendor to Order From only and attach a different Remit To vendor. Many times when we are setting up vendors - you don't always know that there will be a different remit to address and there is not way to go back an change the original address and link to the new remit to address.

    Hello! This functionality is currently available. Within Web Financial Management > Vendor > Vendor Browse, select and Order From/Remit To Vendor and click “Change Remit To”. Then click on the Select a Different Remit To Vendor and proceed by clicking Save. If this does not solve the idea you have, please respond back with more detail. Thank you and have a great day!

  16. 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…

  17. PS\WF\AM\UT\AM (Account Merge): Add a way to do this via import.

    PS\WF\AM\UT\AM (Account Merge): Add a way to do this via import. We have an extra six digits so we can't use the mass merge option, but even if that weren't the case, this still seems like a good area to do an import.

  18. Cash Receipts Approval Process

    We are a large district with numerous schools making bank deposits and submitting Cash Receipts in Account Management. Like Budget Transfers and Journal Entries, we would like to see an Approval process put in place so the finance office can review and verify the Cash Receipt transaction before posting it.

  20. Budget Requisition - School year display

    When employees are entered budget requisitions, it would be so helpful if it was possible that limit their access to certain school years. This is possible when entering purchasing requisitions so it would only make sense to do this in budget requisitions. Staff get so confused. I know it is a training issue but sometimes, training is just not enough.
