  1. Journal Entry-Back button

    Please consider moving the location of the back button on the Submit Journal Entry Screen. It is right below the Save and Finish Later and can accidentally be selected in error. Also, a warning screen to ask you are you sure you want to go back and not save!

  2. Invoice Entry Filter Button

    In the invoice entry screen when you are in the "Add Accounts" pop-up it would be very helpful to have an account filter button. This would allow you to figure out account numbers that you don't know the full string of numbers. For example you know that it is for the high school (location 400) and that it is for volleyball (162121) but you are not sure about the object then it will let you filter the things you do know and help you narrow down to the account you need. At this time I need to open a separate…

  3. Web Invoice Processing retention field

    Have the ability to retain an account number in the Web invoice entry. PAC would automatically pop up the last used number so if I am entering 20 food service invoices I don't have to re-type the same account number 20 times.

  4. Time Off Detail Summary Report - remove GROUP subtotal from report

    Districts need the ability to just see the totals by Time Off Code. Summary allows that, but it automatically add a GROUP SUB TOTAL to the report. When dropped to Excel this extra sub totals has to be removed before the report is useful. Add a option to Detail Transactions Report to REMOVE the GROUP Sub Totals from the report.

  5. Submit Journal Entry restricted to 100 lines

    We would like to do electronic approvals for Journal Entries. We often have JEs with over 100 lines. Although the Journal Entry screen allows thousands of lines, the "Submit Journal Entry" screen (which allows for electronic approvals), has a cap of 100 lines.

    I'm not sure why there would be a cap of 100 lines since I can import thousands of lines to the 'regular' Journal Entry screen.

    I'd like the ability to remove this limit, or at least increase the limit.

    See attached document for error message regarding 100 line maximum.

  6. Limit custom reports under Employee Profile to those assigned to that employee

    Currently under Employee Profile, the Custom Forms tab shows all active forms, rather than the forms assigned to that particular employee. It is my understanding that under Skyward Student, there is a setting that when selected, only shows custom forms applicable to that person. It would be very helpful if we had the same option for Employee Profile.

  7. Purchase Order Printing in the Vendor Profile Section

    It would be nice if you could print a Purchase Order right in the Vendor Profile Section instead of having to go to the Purchase Order Section.

  8. I want to run a report based on the Notes section in the Employee Profile

    I add notes under the Notes button in the Employee Profile as there is nowhere else to put extra information and, within the notes, you have to choose a category. I would like to be able to run a report based on the category. Example: We put our employees 5-year, 10-year, etc. recognition in there under a category of Recognition but I can't find a way to pull a report based on the Recognition category so I can see who has been recognized in the past and should be again in the future. I also put in a category for…

  10. View Amount for Cash Receipts

    When looking at your cash receipts history, there isn't a column for the amount of the receipt. So if you have multiple receipts for the same vendor, you have to open each receipt in the Cash Receipts History screen in order to find out if that is the one you are looking for.

  11. Clone Button For Screener Groups - FastTrack

    MCSD HR team would like to suggest the addition of a Clone button to the Screener Groups menu. There is currently only an Add, Edit, Delete, and Back. A clone button would make adding many at once more efficient for our HR users.

  12. Scheduled Task for Create Accounts under DOE-399

    Under Federal/State Reporting, DOE-399, you have to manually run create accounts for each project. A scheduled task similar to other areas of the system would be helpful to catch all new accounts added during the week. The task could be set and run once a week (after hours) to make sure each project listed n DOE-399 includes any and all accounts being used.

  13. Design a report that will include approved absences and unapproved absences.

    I have worked with the Skyward team on scheduling a staff absence report. It ends up that I have to run two separate reports. Is there a way to make this one report?

  14. Time off hours should match FTE import/Employee Management

    It would be great if the time off hours would auto update to match each imports FTE instead of having to manually update for all of those who have changed each school year. Manually updating Insurance Tracker FTE as well as time off hours.

  15. Do not drop the attachment when applying a PO to a pcard transaction.

    Do not drop the attachment when applying a PO to a pcard transaction. It would be nice if the attachments included in the PO would stick when applying that PO to a pcard transaction. Then we don't have to reattach the invoice when that transaction finally comes through a few weeks after the order was placed.

  16. 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.

  17. Salary Negotiations - Include _Vacants in Reports

    The Employee Management Report under Salary Negotiation Reports does not include Contract dollars amounts for _Vacant positions but should. Other reports in Salary Negotiations such as Pay/Distribution and Detail and Summary reports do. I would like to see this consistent.
