  1. 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.

  2. 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:

    NOTE: We recommend submitting a Service Call to get assistance with running these utilities.

    Thank you!

  3. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Re-print expense reimbursement

    It would be nice if you could re-print the expense reimbursement invoice after it has been moved to history. Currently we can "view" the reimbursement but there is no great way to re-print the reimbursement invoice looking the same.

  7. What employees see when looking at Time Sheet History

    An employee is questioning why his Double time hours were not showing on his time sheet history. The time sheet clearly shows that he should be paid for 7 hours of Double Time for hours worked on Sunday and 7.5 hours of half time that he worked on other days during the week. However, when he looks at his history of the time sheet (while it is waiting for payroll) it is only showing the time and 1/2 hours and not the double time. This is the response I received from Skyward on this issue:

    Discrepancy in time sheet viewing…

  9. Option to only show active accounts in Account Management

    In Account Management, it appears that I have to scroll through all accounts. It would be wonderful if there was a way to set it to only active accounts. If I click on Account at the top and select only active as a filter, it does not save when you exit that screen,.

  11. Allow Journal Entries to link to vendor profiles

    Create a tab under the vendor profile that will allow journal entries to be linked to specific vendors. This would greatly simplify being able to look at edits that were made after posting and help communication

  12. Wire Payment Check Number

    Need check number for wire payments assigned during the check register process instead of invoice created. Invoices in batch status currently have check numbers when payment method is wire. This is causing check numbers to be out of sequence when including the check date. Wire payments created on the first and paid on the last day have check numbers before wire payments entered and paid on the 15th.

  13. Button to Clone Assigment as Vacancy

    It would be so nice if there was an option to clone an assignment as a vacancy in Salary Negotiations. If an employee left, instead of deleting their old assignment and creating a vacancy, you would just have to clone the assignment of the person leaving. You are able to clone a vacancy to create a new assignment. It would be so helpful to be able to do it vice versa too.

  15. Select multiple credit card transactions and attach to a purchase order or budget code.

    I would like to be able to select multiple CC transactions for a purchase order or a budget code. I have to individually select the purchase order for multiple transactions even though they are on the same purchase order. The same thing is true when I am submitting an expense report that only has a budget code. The other part to a purchase order is when I attach a receipt to a transaction with a purchase order, the receipt does not attach to the acutal po. I have to do that separately.

  18. Expand the Submit JE and Submit Transfer Functionality

    Expand the capabilities of the Submit Journal Entry and Submit Transfer functions to be able to add more than 20 lines to a transfer or journal entry. Also, add the ability to import large sets of data within this function.

    This would allow us to move to a digital format by attaching all backup to the journal entry or transfer and then submitting it to the final approver within Skyward. The journal entry report or transfer report, and accounting registers could then be saved electronically. This would eliminate all paper filing.

    Unlimited lines and importing is currently available in the…

  19. Add Generic Date Field in Data Mining

    Add a 'Date/Date Range' field that can be added to all data mining reports regardless of the data being pulled. It would be helpful to be able to narrow down the data based on a date or date range for ALL reports. Currently you can only add a date/date range for a few, very specific, fields.

  20. Would like to see the "Description" field in the requisitions be much smaller

    The "Description" field needs to be a smaller field since this is what prints on checks and in reports. With is being such a large field, staff enter many, many things in this field; they enter items that should be on the requisition lines, notes, etc. If the field were smaller I think it might deter them from writing a novel, and we wouldn't have to re-enter information in the correct fields.
