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.
Thank you!

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…
39 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback!
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.
38 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We need your feedback!
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?
Please elaborate on what you would expect this to look like and function.
Thank you!

Notes' option in profile needs reporting options
I use the Notes option in both Web and PaC profile to record any payroll changes that need to occur. There are hree issues with this:
Program does not allow me record the date as of when I need to make the change.
When reporting on these notes it sorts by 'Create Date' rather than the date I need to make the change.
Options need to be added to sort the notes by Occurrence Date or Implementation Date rather than by Create Date.
The option would be more functional if user could define to report in 'Expected Date' or 'Implementation…
52 votesThank you for submitting and voting on this idea. We suggest that you try this instead:
Create a Custom Form for Note by individual. If you make it as a multi form, you could add more as needed for history or you could use a single form and remove after they have updated what they needed. You are able to include an “Implementation Date” (WH\EP\PS\CF\CF\MS)
Next, create a Data Mining Report. You will be able to run the report by “Implementation Date” and see the notes associated.

Payment Type Totals Independent of Detail Lines
Add option to allow payment type (Cash Check EFT etc.) to be defined on the Batch instead of being built from accumulated totals from the detail line items.

Payment type can be selected as a default and/or retained value on the Data Retention on Add.
Navigate to Data Retention on add for Cash Receipts (WF\AM\GI\CA\CA\CA)
There is a checkbox next to the Field “Payment Type” make sure to check that and select “EFT” from the drop down.Thank you,

email PO orgin for items marked as pending receipt
To generate an email when the AP department puts an invoice in "pending receipt status". This would save them from having to send an email out separately to remind them or verify that they have received the items in question.
Add a notification similar to those that are under "user preference" for requisitions. Or also it could be possible added under the FM Config where we can set up to have an email sent to the originator when a PO exceeds to the PO amount by a certain %.43 votesThank you for submitting this idea.

Calendar Codes need to include 1/2 days
When setting up calendars for employees we need to be able to enter a 1/2 work day for employees. Currently the system only recognizes full days. We use Employee Management and if I put in all the 1/2 days as full days Employee Management does not calculate the salary correctly (because the day count is over stated). The True Time schedule is able to recognize a half day so when an employee puts in a 1/2 sick day on a true 1/2 day it should show the sick hours correctly but it does not because it is showing a full…

Delete by Employee with Online Forms
You cannot currently delete an online form process for a given employee. There are instances where an employee may not need to complete the online form such as resignation or the employee letter that's posted is incorrect etc. In that case you cannot delete anyone who was assigned the online form unless you log into their profile and complete the form for them. It will always show as incomplete or outstanding. Either we need an option to delete an online form for a specific employee or it needs to be setup like the Student side's Online Form which includes a…
45 votesTo remove an individual from an Online Form, the Online Form will need to be deactivated temporarily. Once you deactivate you can click the Activate button again and then the Selection Parameters screen will come up where you will be able to make changes to remove the individual from the Online Form. You can do this even if the employee has already completed the Online Form.
Note: This will only work if you make your employee selection by individual employee.

Would like 'Time Left' field to be available in DM
Our district sends out letters monthly to employees who have 6 or less sick days left. We are trying to come up with a more streamlined solution than sending out a paper letter. The time left field is currently not available in data mining. If we were able to pull this field for Sick Leave then we could set a range of 0 to 6 days left. This would generate a report with the exact employees that need letters.
I am trying to help alleviate some of the manual tasks that HR has to do as their work load keeps…67 votesTry this instead:
Access this same information through Employee Time Off Tracker. With the tracker, you can select employees and the time off codes you want to see. Then on the browse, you can use the filter to see employees with specific amounts. You are able to get the data you need through this method and still use task manager to notify employees.

Increase PA UC decimal places from 4 to 6 digits
Our district does the finances for a charter school that resides within our district. This charter school's PA Unemployment Compensation rate as directed by the PA Dept. of Labor is 0.036785.
Skyward currently only allows 4 decimal places so I'm only able to enter 0.0367 or 0.0368.If this isn't something that can be fixed in the current Skyward software please make sure to include it in Qmlativ.
52 votesThanks for submitting this idea.
It appears this already exists in SMS 2.0.
Under HR\PA\RE\PA\SF\UCThe UC Employer Tax Rate allows for 6 decimal places.
