PO/req group assigns in security
It would be very helpful to see the total set up areas that a user has in the Secured screen for a user. Purchase order requisition groups and the inventory req group assignments listed in this area would make a huge difference. It would help keep things updated as users change positions and also let you know if you are cloning security to a PO/Inv req group not needed. Many times I have removed the security in the Secured screen for a user without remembering that they could also be a member of a PO/Inv req group. When printing a…

Please make the font on reports easier to read
I have had numerous requests from our users to change the font on budgetary data mining reports so that it is easier to read. The size doesn't seem to be the issue it just needs to be bolder.
57 votesThank you for submitting and voting on this idea. We’ve researching implementing this enhancement and have determined we will not pursue it at this time.
There are several limitations to updating the font so that it is bolder. The biggest impact is that by making the font bolder it will shift the font and take up more room. Every report in the system would need to be reviewed and most likely updated as data would get pushed off the report rendering them unusable.
Thank you,

Need to manually enter Barcode and Proximity Value
We should be able to manually enter Barcodes and Proximity values for our TrueTime users in Employees in TrueTime. Employees has their ID badges before employees are set up in TrueTime we need to manually enter these values verses hunting the employees down and then setting up their badges at readers.
This will be a huge time-saver for our employees and those managers that set up the badges.54 votesThank you for submitting this idea, voting on it and in some instances providing more feedback. We spent time researching this request and working with our Professional Services department for a viable solution.
At this time, we are not considering it for development. This request requires some heavy technical enhancements that do not line up with our current road map.
Thank you,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
51 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We suggest that you try this instead:
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,

Mass selecting recurring entries to create invoice
It would be great if we could mass select recurring entries for creating invoices for payment. Having to select each one at a time is much more time consuming than if we could select several at a time from the list.
50 votesThank you for submitting and voting on this idea. We’ve reviewed it and will not be pursing this development in the near future. While we see the value of this request it would require a lot of development time and it doesn’t align with our current road map.

Electronic Onboard Module
We're looking for electronic payroll and HR docs and wondering if Skyward will in the future provide this option to purchase. Fast Track only would help with demographic information and assingnment. We're looking for payroll information like their electronic I9, W4, etc. I overheard that it may be an option with Qmlativ. We already use Task Manager for lots of other data but we're looking for something more robust and interactive. We don't want to add another system.
49 votesThank you for submitting the product idea!
We are looking for more input from our users on this topic.
1. How does this affect your day to day duties with using an onboarding module?
2. What system/process do you currently use to work with gathering this payroll information? Do you utilize something like Custom Forms, FastTrack?
3. What features/processes are you looking for with this onboarding module (ie. do employees upload the documentation, review/approval process, profile integration, etc...)
This idea will remain open for further exploration and input from the Skyward Community.
Thank you!

Preferred Vendor Management
Some districts have special pricing agreements with particular vendors making using those vendors the fiscally responsible choice when entering a requisition; however there are legitimate situations where a user may need to use a non-preferred vendor (i.e. The preferred vendor doesn't have a specific item). Currently there is not systematic way to help users know which vendors to use nor a way to handle requisitions where users needed to use a non-preferred vendor instead of a preferred vendor.
1) There would be a new vendor code under WF\VE\PS\CO called Vendor Types where districts could define vendor types like "Office Supplies"…

Selecting Multiple Codes, Names, Numbers, etc.
When selecting multiple codes names numbers checks etc. in PaC you can hold the shift key and select a range. You cannot do this on the Web. It is time consuming when you're selecting more than a few.

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 -
Need ACA hours for docked day to equal hours workd
Need to have ACA hours for a docked day to equal daily hours worked in Employee Management. Currently the docked hours for ACA default to 8 and this is not correct in most cases.
Dock pay would automatically deduct the correct number of ACA hours when used.
Additional clarification from customer:We currently pull ACA hours from Employee Management. When processing a
payroll and an employee has dock pay it pulls up the hours associated with
the calendar for the employee. I would like the ACA hours to pull from the
hours per day on Employee Management. This way the…48 votesThank you for submitting this request and voting on it. We’ve had our experts run a few test at Skyward and we believe the system is working as intended as long as the set up is correct. Please review these steps & try this instead:
1) When running the Unpaid Time Off Import (Create Dock Pay) utility in Payroll Worksheets the ACA Hours are automatically created.
2) The hours are negative – to indicate taking ACA hours away from the total ACA hours for the payroll
3) The number of hours recorded is based on the Time Off Code Setup – Hours per Day
4) The ACA hours are written directly from the Unpaid Import. They are not derived from the ACA Import button in Payroll Select
5) Primary Pay’s ACA hours is pulled from the ACA Import in Select
6) The Import runs out to the web. It is…

Staff assignment screen - View Add on button
1) When you view a staff assignment we need a View button on the Add-on screen that will open up the Add-on maintenance window. Currently there is no View button available. In order to view the information we have to go through Edit Staff Assignment and then Edit the Add-ons.
2) On the Add-on screen the Amount we see is the Calculated/Add-on amount - a prorated amount based on Calculated FTE. When we make assignment changes we need to be able to see the actual add-on salary amount. If one were to inadvertently use this value on a new assignment…

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.

Purchase Orders
Purchase Order "Deliver To" Needs to have the phone number added as when venders call with a concern or question they always call the Billing Office as that's the only phone number available and they don't know the answer so then the call is forwarded to me.
With the phone number added to the delivery address calls would be directed directly to the correct school without delay in answers. Deliveries wouldn't be delayed and the Billing office would not be given unnecessary calls. You have built into the system address 1 & address 2 - address 1 could be the…46 votesThank you for submitting this idea!
