  1. Approving credit card transactions

    Due to so many credit card transactions under Review/Submit Transactions could you please add the select all transactions to approve? Last month I had 150 transactions to approve one by one. This takes a lot of time. I understand that the last approver has this option however it seems appropriate for other users as well. This will save so much time if I do not have to click submit 180 times.

    Good Evening!

    The functionality to select all Credit Card transactions to approve already exists! You can start selecting all credit card transactions to approve today!

    Thank you and have a great day!

  2. Add ability to create a customized filter

    I would like to request the ability to add my own customizable filter to the credit card approval screen as well as account detail similar to that on the Approve Requisitions page. As the business manager/final approve I approve all cc transactions so it would be easier to see only the info I want vs scrolling to the right = waste of time. It would be awesome if this screen showed the account detail / usage as the Approve Requisitions screen does. Making the verification and approval of credit card transactions more efficient and accurate.

  3. Wisconsin Retirement System

    The current Wisconsin Retirement System requirements dictate that a percentage gets applied to each the employee benefit and deduction. Can there be a payroll exception added, similar to FICA and Medicare, that will identify if there is a pay code with one or the other, but not both?

  4. Check for duplicate Employee Expense Reimbursement requests

    Would like to be able to check for duplicate payment history of expense reimbursements within the expense reimbursement itself instead of having to perform a lookup in the vendor area.

  5. Fix the programming so we can get 1/1-6/30 retirement hours to be reported

    When running a retirement report in data mining the 1/1-6/30 hours are not populating. The monies for that time frame come in and the calendar hours come in but not the 1st half of the year hours.
    I worked with a tech 2 years ago and he realized the problem and was going to write up a report for programming but after that and 3 other requests it still has not been fixed. This is essential when doing the annual retirement reporting.
    I don't think this should be an RFE but it should be addressed by programming. It would be…

  6. Employee Letter/Task Mgr - Add digital signature & template to be able to add one by one without creating new every time

    We want to be able to create an agreement for our coaches/advisors that allow us to pull data from Employee Management into an Employee Letter that the coach would digitally sign. We would then embed the letter into a Task Manager process that allows us to have a building admin or secretary initiate a request in Task Manager, that first goes to HR for review/approval, then HR generates the employee letter that is e-mailed to the coach in the next step. Once the coach digitally signs and completes their step, the form comes back to HR/Payroll for processing. Right now,…

  7. Auto -generated e-mail to teacher when student punches the tardy kiosk.

    Auto-generated e-mail to teacher when student punches the tardy kiosk. This would let the teacher know that the student was coming and the teacher could notify the office if the student did not arrive. This would eliminate students punching the kiosk and then not going to class.

  8. Control Check Number Printing Order

    Please add the option to print checks in reverse number order during the payroll process. Some of our printers don't print in the same order that our checks are shipped. During large paper check runs the stack of checks have to be manually re-sorted.
    A single option to print in the normal 1-10 order or in the reverse 10-1 order. This is a common feature in most bookkeeping software that I've used including my own personal finance software at home.

  9. Browse option on Card User's screen

    As a credit card user they don't have the "Description or Account number" available in the browse (as the approvers do). These 2 fields are imperative to have for some of our end users (secretaries that are responsible for reconciling several cards and various accounts numbers are being used). By having these 2 fields they could dump to excel which will help them extensively to be able to sort by account number or description to assign the correct account number (example if it's all "musical supplies" she knows all of them will have the same account number etc...). Now she…

  10. 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…

  11. Mass Clone AP Invoice Does Not Clone Check Type

    When doing a mass clone of an accounts payable invoice the check type comes through as Regular. The invoice entered that is being cloned is ACH. All invoices are payments to employees that are all set up on ACH. We would like the check type to populate correctly with ACH as a true clone of the original invoice rather than needing to edit each invoice. Thank you.

  13. 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.

  14. Utility to remove Old WIP status Expense Reimbursement requests

    Clean up utility to remove WIP status expense reimbursement requests for former employees or for prior years. When you use the "Print WIP Report" you have a list of outstanding requests from all years and termed employees.
    To remove these request you need to make the employee active again and add them to the org chart. Then login as the employee to remove the request, remove them from the org chart, make account inactive again.

  17. Emergency Contact Information upload & manipulation of fields

    Before "Emergency Contacts" was an option in Web H/R, we developed a "Custom Form" that H/R entered the information on the employee.....Years later the "Emergency Contact" was released, we've been utilizing that. Our H/R dept is manually entering information into the "Emergency Contact? We asked Skyward if there was an upload (and there is not). We also asked if we could "downsize/manipulate" all the various fields in the "Emergency Contact" area, since we don't need to know where the contact works etc... (we're trying to make this as easy on our employees as possible). After our data is entered, H/R…

    Add Employment Type "Temporary" to FastTrack since this is different from permanent Part-Time/Full-Time positions. Temporary is also not the same as on-call and needs to be added.
