  1. True Time = Updating time sheets into seperate Worksheet Selections

    Within True Time = when UPDATING time sheets, if there was a button where we could individually HOLD or SELECT a specific time sheet to go into a different WORKSHEET SELECTION. For example, I am pulling in teachers time sheets and I want a couple of this group to go into a different worksheet because they need to be paid on a different date then the rest.

  2. Select Multiple Purchase Orders to Print at same time

    It would be helpful to be able to highlight multiple lines/multiple purchase orders in the purchase order entry screen and print several PO's at the same time. I know there is a utility to print multiple purchase orders, but it would be much easier to be able to highlight the PO's that you want and hit the print button rather than fumbling around look for the utility and then trying to narrow it down to just the handful that you want to print. It would save a lot of time if you could just select multiple and print them at…

  3. Allow Description to copy over automatically when entering line by line Journal entries

    When entering Detail Line by Line journal entries, it would be nice for the description to automatically copy over when you Save & Again.

  4. Make 'notes' in the Vendor and Account Management areas reportable.

    When using the 'notes' in both A/P and Account Management to notate an error, it would be nice to be able to see these notes when a report is printed. Make the 'notes' a data-mineable field. Using the 'notes' to "correct" an error in the description or adding to the description after something has been posted does no good if it can't be seen when the information is printed in a report....the information still looks incorrect or incomplete.

  6. Report that Shows Users or Groups Assigned to Initiate Task

    A report is needed that shows task process, user and groups that have access to initiate task processes. In order to obtain this information you must go to each task and review the list of users/groups who can initiate the task.

  7. Create A/R invoices from Web

    We would like to create A/R invoices from the Web, since not all of the people who create invoices have PaC on their desktop at our district.

  8. Set up the ability to email AR Invoices from Batch Status

    I assume AR is not a huge component for most school customers but it matters a lot to service agencies. We are unable to use the AR component for billing efficiently because we can not bill invoices from batch status. If we move them to open status where we can then email them, the accounting is posted but we are required in KS to operate on a Cash Basis following the KS regulatory Basis of Accounting.

  10. Fixed Asset Reporting

    Please also add the Format tab like you have in Human Resources with the option to "Print all Information on one line per item" This would save a lot of time on the manipulation of the Current Value report. Please also add the ability to send all Fixed asset reports and Data Mining directly to Excel

  11. True Time Pay Code Maintenance

    Pay Code Maintenance Setup- I have employees that earn comp time for their primary duty and OT for extra duty. Please have the option to Include Pay towards overtime to "Yes" and the option of "No" to include in Comp Time.

  13. vendor account number information efficiency

    Most businesses use account numbers and invoice numbers 99% of the time when working with their clients. If we are taking the time to enter an account number for our vendors into the 1099 Form Section the checkmark should auto populate on the Print Account Number on A/P Check Stub and PO. This should be the same for A/P Contact information.

  14. Employee ID available as Cross Reference in Custom Forms Import Data from Excel

    In Employee Tab > Setup > Config > Custom Forms Setup > Import Data > Extract Data From Sheet. The options for cross referencing out of the excel doc into Skyward are only: Name ID, NalphaKey, SS#, (and others - student related #s - we don't use). I want there to be the option of Employee ID too! Is that possible?

  16. Rolling Monthly Report

    The current "Ranges" option under the field parameters in data mining only allows the ability to give the total of the monthly range and display in one column. It would he helpful to expand this option so we can select a month range, but have the report give us individual monthly totals in separate columns. This would be different than the auto-generate since that is limited by the fiscal year. This enhancement would allow us to easily create a rolling monthly history report without having to add multiple fields because we could now define the monthly range for the report.

  17. Create way to clone a fund in order to create a new fund.

    In order to create a new fund in the system you have to manually add the fund and all the accounts (Equity/Liability/Rev/Exp/Cash) to the new fund. You also have to bounce back and forth between Web and PAC. It would be nice to have a clone option for a fund available that way you choose a fund option that's already created, and clone it in order to create the new fund. All accounts will already be there and you just need to rename/number the accounts.

    There is a process in Skyward to clone funds in order to create a new fund.

    On the Web, navigate to Account Management, Product Set Up, Utilities and select “Mass Add Account Transaction” Once you’ve run through that utility and reviewed the data you process it using the “Mass Add Accounts” utility.

    Here are links to the SkyDoc:

    Thank you!

  18. Substitute Rate Table Types

    In Substitute Tracking, "Detailed Transactions" allow the ability to edit the "Sub Type". This is needed when a long term sub switches to a short term sub mid pay period. For example they could be a long term sub at $160 per day for one week and the second week sub in regular short term positions for $120 per day. Also in this same area allow editing of Retirement hours. Some of our subs are also employees and do need to have retirement hours recorded on them.

  20. Cash Receipts/Accounts Receivable - Name Field

    The Name field in the Cash Receipts and Accounts Receivable entry are tied to the Vendor file in Accounts Payable. It is not often that we receive payments from our vendors. There needs to be a separate "Customer" Profile created for these modules so we can track payments received from DPI, other grantors, booster clubs, etc.
