  1. true time account

    True time has the ability to enter two pay codes. However, it does not pull the correct account number from those pay codes. It pulls only from the primary. The system should be able to be set up to do this.

  3. I would like automated emails with finance to be able to notify our business office when I add an invoice type category and/or attachment to

    I would like automated emails to be added to the finance side of skyward. They are very handy in making certain data in is good and also that the appropriate people are notified to update other systems or pay purchase orders when adding invoices or attachment with category type of invoice. That way they know it can be paid and we are not waiting in October for a May PO to be paid.

  5. Employee expense reimbursement - pre-verifier

    We have struggled with the preverifier option forever. I would like to request that you change this option to allow for a blank preverifier and the user must be required to choose the proper preverifier from a drop down list.
    Currently the system makes us default a preverifier. Our employees always forget to change it to the correct person! I then need to deny the request and email them to log back in and change the preverifier and resubmit their request.
    By allowing this field to be empty and required when a user is entering a reimbursement request they will…

  6. Notify person who entered PO to receive PO

  7. Denial Note for Time off

    When a Time off request is denied it would be nice to note to employee WHY it was denied -- i.e. Sick time must be taken in one hour increments, so your request for 1.5 hours is denied.

  8. Expense Reimbursement Attachments

    When entering in an expense reimbursement it would be helpful if a warning showed up when attachments are not included before they can submit the reimbursement for certain expense codes. This would help employees understand they need to submit receipts for certain expenses.

  9. Be able to add a ship to name without adding a vendor

    I previously had the ability to add a ship to name without setting up a new vendor. I need to be able to ship to our Ag Barn, but that isn't a vendor. Please put a button back in the requisition/PO group set up where you can add a ship to name without creating a vendor.

  10. Fiscal year as default

    We do not close our Fiscal year until the budget is approved by our BOE in October. In invoice entry, there is a way to set the Fiscal year you want as a default. In Cash receipt entry there is currently no way to do this. could this be an added field on the Data Retention on Add of Cash Receipts? Since GASB 84 all of our schools enter cash receipts daily for credit card payments received and this is a missed entry often. See the attachment for the screen I would like to see this added to.
    Thank you

  11. Inactive employees in red in all areas like in HR portion of the system

    I would like to see inactive employees highlighted in red like in the HR portion of the system. When looking at security or groups it would be very helpful to see a color differential for inactive employees.

  12. Why, Why, Why is there not a way to save the adjustments that we make

    Why, why ,why can we not save the adjustments that we make to get our columns the size and stuff that we want (like the clone option)??!! I make the adjustments to the columns to fit my needs and then as soon as you leave the page they disappear. The idea that I have to redo it EVERYTIME I come back to that page is RIDICULOUS! I know it can happen because I have them saved in some areas (they say "clone). Why not offer that on all the pages that we can already make adjustments...ie the add requisition accounts…

  13. Pay Records Tab

    It would be great when viewing Pay Codes in the Pay Records Tab if we could see Start/Stop Dates instead of "Editing" the pay record to view Start/Stop Dates.

  14. Combine Employee Contact Information

    Format employee data so that address and phone/email can be viewed on one "contact information" page. Clicking from one area to the other to get this information is very cumbersome.

    Thank you for submitting the product idea!

    On the Employee Profile screen, towards the top of the screen there is a customize button - with this you can choose to have specific employee information pinned onto the screen for easier viewing of the data you wish to see.

    I have included an attachment of the button on Employee Profile with the options available to you.

    I hope this helps and is an alternative you can use!

  15. pseudo approval

    Create a notification to the approver when an employee requests an address change/direct deposit change or any change that requires a pseudo approval. This way we don't need to go in daily and check pseudo approvals for any new submissions.

  17. Allow credit memo#s/negative amounts on check requests and/or multiple invoice #s per request

    It would be nice to be able to enter multiple invoices for one vendor check request, including credit memo#'s with negative amounts. Instead of having to enter a seperate check request for every invoice#. Also, the system doesn't allow a negative check request, for a credit memo, so those still have to be submitted on paper (unless there is another way, please share :) Thanks!

  18. Change default Auto FastTrack status 100 Code "Resume Submitted to HR" to "Application Submitted to HR"

    Current default auto 100 status code description for HR should be changed to Application not Resume submitted because it is the application not resume actually submitted.

  19. add change history to data mining

    Data mining in HR really needs the option to pull employee change history. We are trying to find a way to know when employees change their name, move to another department and terminate. Running a data mining with this information as a scheduled task would greatly assist with this.
