Contract inactivated based on expiration date
I would like to see if it would be possible to have a contract inactivated from a vendors profile based on the contract expiration date. I don't want the contract deleted. I am not aware of a way to pull up the expiration date in order to inactivate a contract from a vendors profile other than placing the expiration date on the description. We have another software that inactivates contracts based on the expiration date. Could a date calendar be placed in the contract area to help with this request? I do see the active button on each contract but…

Request the ability to Reset an Online Assignment
Currently a teacher can allow a student to Resume an On-line Assignment to finish an assignment they started. However if the teacher would like them to retake the assignment Resume leaves all the previous answers in place so the student just needs to correct the wrong answers rather than answer all the questions again. In order to allow the student to truly retake the on-line assignment it has to be cloned and then set to excused for all other students. This clutters the gradebook over the term of the course. We would like to see a Reset button added in…

Reocurring Invoices and purchse orders
It would be nice on the reoccurring purchase orders is there was a mass update for the fiscal year. The way it is now you have to log into PAC and then you have to update each vendor separately with the new fiscal year. It is very time consuming when you have a lot of reoccurring vendors set up for payments. It would be nice on the reoccurring purchase orders is there was a mass update for the fiscal year.

Identify Tier 2 TRS like IMRF
We need to have a check box to identify Tier 2 plan in TRS just like there is one for IMRF. We also need a an additional box to put in the wage limit because it changes every year. Currently we have 3 TRS employees that are tier2 over the wage limit and it caused problems in reporting.

Denial reason shown in email sent to originator
If a check request is denied the denial reason is not shown in the email that is sent to the originator. This causes inefficiencies because then the person has to call the business office to find out why their check request was denied. Further confusion is caused by the fact that a Notes field is in the email that the employee receives it's just left blank. Therefore they don't think to go into Skyward to check if there is a denial reason because the field in the email is blank. It's currently confusing to people in our District because we…

Requesting warning message for Bank Routing Info
Issue When entering direct deposit information it seems like (to my payroll specialists) the system finds the closest routing number in the library. They key in the routing number and select the bank name that comes up. We just found an incident where the payroll specialist entered a routing number & that bank was not in our library - but she did not realize it - and the bank name selected was the next closest. Can something be changed to warn them during data entry that the routing number is not in the library. Kind of like it does with…

ACA employee selection parameters
When adding an employee to the ACA workfile I would like to have the ability to select multiple employees similar to other selection parameters in the software. This would save a lot of time if I have a list of specific employees to add. Time is money $.
2 votesThank you for submitting and voting on this idea. We suggest you try this instead:
During webinars our State and Federal Reporting Department recommend using an import process in this same Method to select employees quickly. You can do this using the 1095 tracker and exporting the browse of employees with an employee identifier at the time of running the report. You can run the 1095 tracker with an employee identifier of (employee id for example) and then export that browse to excel, save it and import it during year end using method 3.
Thank you!

Mass Process for Changing check and building locat
Starting a new school year we have a lot of changes between campuses it would be nice to have a mass process to change check locations and building locations. Also for summer assignments we had everyone clock in under True Time so their check location was changed for the summer assignment a mass process would allow us to change them back to their primary assignment. Having a mass process would be easier than changing each employee at the start of school when lots of changes are being made.

retirement hours not populating
When running a retirement report in data mining the 1/1/-6/30 hours are not populating. The monies come in and the year to date hours and monies come in but not the other hours needed. This causes us to have to run 2 reports for the end of the year retirement reporting to be able to get those hours.

Coupons with On-line Ordering
When using the on-line ordering especially for Quill they have coupon codes you have to enter to get money off depending on how much you order. One of the secretaries that was ordering didn't find a way to add the code. She called Quill and she said we had to check with Skyward. She put in a call to Skyward and they told her we needed to ask for the enhancement. Is it possible that we can get this added?

Detail Activity
Please take a look at the attached printscreen and tell me if you think that this is detailed activity. Not sure how it can be detailed when it doesn't contain any type of description vendor information payment date etc. Could the detailed information be added to this screen instead of going two screens back to get that information.

How to change cash account to be an ACH origin
We are in the process of centralizing activity funds and have set up a new bank account to process and pay purchase orders called Activity Funds. I attempted to ACH pay a vendor in AP and received the message The selected cash Account is not set up to be an ACH origin bank. Message attached. How do we change this cash account to be an ACH origin bank?

Shift Differential vs automatic OT pay code
I would like to submit a request for enhancement for Shift Differential in the Time Keeping Rules where you could select a shift differential pay code rather than it only allowing an automatic OT pay code. We have custodial staff who work evenings and anyone who works hours after 330pm receives a shift differential pay of $.60 per hour. For the last seven years I have manually calculated their shift differential by running a data mining report printing it and then counting their hours that they have worked after 330 pm. This is cumbersome and leaves room for human error.…

Covered individuals
For each employee I noticed that there is a box to say employee is a covered individual. Our district is self-insured so every covered individual must be reported. When you check the box the employee's information (name social and date of birth) does not automatically populate in the bottom. I had not added them manually in the bottom because a Skyward rep told me that the IRS will recognize the employee as covered because the box was checked. However the IRS does NOT accept the record and tells us that it is an error because the box is checked but…

Currently the attachment is link to the description on the Budget Entry screen. As part of this the attachment would also have to available in the Account Profile Budget tab.

Switch post date to Batch date
The goal is to approve efficiency in looking up past posting (history). The Post Date is not something used on a daily basis and that has to be looked up before we can look up the entry. The number is more commonly used. Change Post Date to Batch Number Cash Receipt Number Journal Entry number for lookup at bottom of screen.

Check Stub Printing
We would like to have the check stub for our checks print in 2 parts instead of having to print the check and then print a separate voucher (and in the case of SBAA they have to photo copy the checks because there isn't a voucher option). We purchased our checks from the Skyward recommended vendor Nelco and the checks come with a perforation in the stub to be able to print that way. We are wasting money and time by having to print vouchers and make photocopies. I'm surprised more districts haven't complained about this. This is an enhancement…
4 votesThank you for submitting this idea. Nelco is the authorized partner of compatible paper forms for the Skyward software. All W-2 and 1099 forms, checks, and school forms are guaranteed 100% compatible. Any issues with the check layout will need to be handled by Nelco as Skyward is unable to alter the format in anyway.

Absence Count for Substitute Tracking
In our Substitute Handbook we give a substitute a $10.00 bump up in pay after they sub (in any capacity) 30 days. Substitutes will receive an increase of $10 to their daily rate ($5 for half day rate) after completing 30 substitute assignments in the school year. (Long term assignments are not eligible for this rate increase.) Skyward can track per sub type ie teacher sub para sub secretary sub etc. Our language states any day subbed counts in the 30 day count. This causes us to dump the Sub days from Aesop into an Excel spreadsheet and then calculate…

Option to perform rollback prior to incrementing
Rollback/move of balance overage is based on the years of service at the time of rollback/move. As currently configured employee is allowed to roll/move balances based on a higher experience value because years are incremented for an anniversary which may not occur for 8 months after the year-end process is performed. Employee rollback and move rules should be checked prior to incrementing years of service.
