Changes 1099 Values in Check Request module
When I was running our 1099's for the 2017 CY all of our vendors were defaulted to box 7. As indicated below from Skyward I would need to un-check the box when I am looking at check requests. This is not a great option for us as we are not a PO district and I would have to edit every check request to un-check the 1099 box as the system auto checks this box because we have 1099 information setup.
The program is working as it is intended. If you go the Web AP Check Requests Submit Add. If you…

Custom Audit Better Unemploy Comp Program Report
Attached is a copy of the report form that is needed to submit to PSBA. We currently are running this report in Microsoft Access and this process requires many steps to accomplish. Please note that a software competitor CSIU has created this report for their clients. This is displayed at the bottom of this form.
Our hope is that this report can be processed within Skyward and any user with payroll permissions can run.1 voteCould you please attach a copy of the report form that is needed to submit to PSBA? It’s not currently attached to this Product Idea.

Mass Clone AP Invoice Does Not Clone Check Type
When doing a mass clone of an accounts payable invoice the check type comes through as Regular. The invoice entered that is being cloned is ACH. All invoices are payments to employees that are all set up on ACH. We would like the check type to populate correctly with ACH as a true clone of the original invoice rather than needing to edit each invoice. Thank you.

Purchase Order Electronic Signatures
In PAC we have the ability to select from 5 signatures when we print purchase orders. The selection is based on the administrator approving the PO. Currently we don't have the ability to do this on the web. So requisitions are processed on the web and then printed from PAC so the signature can be selected. Our preference would be to do the whole process on the Web vs going back and forth between systems.

Ability to mass change expiration dates for certif
MDE (MN Dept of Education) is upgrading to a tiered licensing system. To achieve this they will be extending all existing teacher licenses by one year from their current expiration date. All licenses expiring 6/30/18 will be extended to 6/30/19. Similarly 19 will go to 20 20 will go to 21 21 will go to 22 and 22 will go to 23. If not able to mass change it will require all schools in MN to manually update the expiration date of all teachers. This will increase the possibility of errors in the future.
By allowing a mass update by…57 votesThank you for submitting and voting on this idea.
We’ve researched this request and current SMS 2.0 functionality and we suggest trying this instead:
Create a Data Mining Report from Human Resources > Employee> Data Mining to pull certification information. You can export the Data Mining Report to an excel spreadsheet to mass update expiration dates.
Then, navigate to Human Resources > Employee > Product Setup> Utilities > Certifications Import. You can re-import the Data Mining spreadsheet with all the updated certification expiration dates.
Please be sure to verify the Expiration Date is not checked for the Creation Criteria on the import. This process will allow you to mass update all certification expiration dates.
Thank you!

Limiting Time Off Requests to 1 per day
It would be helpful if there was a configuration option to limit the requested number of Time Off transactions to 1 per day. There currently is an option to 'Prevent employees from requesting more than one day off with a single Time Off transaction' but no option to limit the number of requests to 1 per day. ie: Option to stop the entry of 1 sick day and then 1 authorized day on the same date/time.

Add confirmation email "reply to" option
From within Online Forms a custom email can be sent after completion of the online form. We would like the ability to enter a "reply to" or "from" email address for this message. Currently the reply-to email is the default reply-to email for the entire system which in our case is HR/Finance and Student. We typically have the default set up as a noreply email but we want the Online Form confirmation email to have a valid reply-to email when we use Online Forms for our insurance Open Enrollment process. So during our Open Enrollment all emails that are sent…
38 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback.
We need some clarification on your current process.
Are you processing Open Enrollment outside of Skyward? We ask because Online Forms is not what is used for Open Enrollment in Skyward. Custom Forms are used for Open Enrollment and we currently don’t have an Email option linked with Custom Forms.
Thanks for your feedback and thanks for walking us through your process so we can better understand this request!

AR Statement Pymts Listing
When printing and emailing AR statements it would be nice if the "Payments" section would be listed differently. Payors do not understand how they are listed now.
If the payments could be listed chronologically by full payment only like in tab "4 Payment" in Payor Master it would be much more readable and cut down on a lot of phone calls.51 votesThank you for submitting and voting on this idea. We’ve spent some time researching this idea. We have concluded that that we will not be pursuing this enhancement at this time.
We recommend using the “Number of Days Back” option in SBAA for Accounting control.

Add option to mass change pay code for full week
When an employee has a pay code change in profile and true time right now a supervisor must go in and edit each individual clock entry each day on the employee's unsubmitted time sheet.
I would like to see a utility that can mass change the pay code for the entire week. Or have a utility that you can select FROM date x TO date x and mass change all transactions in between.
If anyone needs further explanations I've attached some screen shots of the pages showing the only way to edit a pay code in TT.28 votesThank you for submitting this request. We’d love to see more support from our Skyward user community prior to considering it for development.

User cannot edit a request in the approval process
Once a New Hire request is approved at a low level and there are more approvals needed. The submitter cannot edit the request. Would like it to work like finance requisitions where the submitter can Edit but it resets the approvals back to the beginning.

Modify Widget to Show ALL EMPLOYEES UNDERNEATH ME
I don't know if it's possible but we would really love the ability to change the setting of the bar graph widget for employee time off per week to see ALL employees under someone. These widgets are SOOOOO helpful and having the ability to change this setting with help us work smarter not harder. ;-) Right now the widget only shows employees who report directly to the approver. I included some screenshots in an effort to better clarify what I'm asking.
Having the ability to change this setting will help our Special Ed Executive Director see a quick snap shot…49 votes -
Web Cash Receipt Account Button
In PaC the functionality to click on the Account button takes the user to the Chart of Accounts module so that a user can look up descriptions see history open PO's which helps in cross referencing if the correct code is being used or copy the same description that was utilized before. The web version has three different places to look up the account number but it does not allow the user to go to the chart of accounts or account profile. Why not?

Combine checks for individual vendors
It would be great if checks to the same vendor could be combined like they can on the Financial Management side. It is the same concept of having several purchase orders and sending one check to the vendor. The negative impact is that we are wasting paper checks by not combining.
One check to each vendor from several purchase orders75 votesWe hear and understand the value of this request. We appreciate everyone voting and commenting on this request. We did not take this request lightly; we’ve reviewed it and conducted a thorough analysis of the project with our development team. Currently, it’s not something on the roadmap for development.

Ability to close each month in SBAA
In Indiana we need to be able to close each month after balancing in SBAA. Our SBOA auditors were recently here and that is something that they required us to do as part of our internal controls. Without being able to close a month the corporation office (and each SBAA school) is unable to verify that they are indeed balancing their bank statements each month.
By adding the ability to close each month in SBAA corporate office and each principal could verify that the bank balancing had been done. Internal controls is a huge part of the SBOA audit.60 votesThank you for submitting and voting on this idea. We’ve reviewed this request and at this time we are not considering it for development.
We suggest using the Max Days to backdate as a way to limit what might get posted to a month.

True Time Comp Time Max
We currently have a group who has a 56 hour comp time max clause in their contract. TT is set up to allow 56 hours per year but for our purposes we need to cap at 56 as an overall total. TT allows the employee to continue to request comp in excess of 56 hours.
Is there a way to remove the "Maximum yearly balance starts at the beginning of ___________" piece in the timekeeping rule?44 votes -
Unit Cost and Quantity
The goal is to be able to send accurate and understandable invoices. We need to be able to enter a quantity of >99999 and a unit cost with 7 significant figures (our local tax rate).
I understand the limits are hard coded so I assume changing them is a simple task and would have no impact in other parts of the system.51 votesThank you for submitting and voting on this idea. We’ve done some research and decided that we are not going to pursue this development.
Skyward accounting rounds to the nearest cent. If we consider seven extra digits the rounding will cause issues with data integrity for all inputs in the system (Purchase Orders, Invoices, Payroll, Reports, etc.) and anything else that relies on accounting to process data correctly.

Add a custom browse view for assignments
There are currently on 2 views that we use staff payroll and staff assignments. We would like to create a custom view because there are fields in each one that are unique. We would like to see all the fields in both available for a custom view and we can filter on. Also we need to see more then just 2 accounts. We would dump this report to excel and all the account codes could show then for us.
More options and flexibility on fields and more then just 2 account codes to show. We use this information in our…

Could you detail which fields specifically you’d expect to see on the browse?
Would up to 4 accounts be adequate, or would you expect to see more than 4 accounts?

Need ability to set security on form in Profile
We need an option to set security on an advanced custom form so only specific security groups can see/edit the form in employee profile but still allowing the employees that fall within the selection parameters for that online form to be able to edit the form. Currently when a custom form is secured it becomes read only for employee access users in the online forms workflow. Secure Custom Form in profile but still allow employees in online forms parameters to edit the form.

Are you looking at custom forms in online forms only or other places as well like task manager?
Would you expect this update to apply to only custom forms or all forms?
