Require a separate approval for certain vendors
We would like to monitor purchases from a particular vendor Amazon. By having an approval by vendor we can approve prior to the purchase regardless of the dollar amount of the purchase. Without this enhancement we either don't have prior authorization for the purchase or we have to approve all purchase orders (which is not currently a requirement for our district). This would put a significant burden on our Purchasing Department. Staff consistently purchase items from Amazon that are not necessarily appropriate for school use (via pcard). We are adding Amazon as an ECommerce vendor so we can ensure these…

We do have a few approval options currently available -
- Are these approvals in addition to the current approval chain or looking for completely separated approval chain than what is in the req/PO group?
- Do you use a specific account for eCommerce orders?
Thank you for your additional input!

Include report description on the header
TO INCLUDE REPORT DESCRIPTION ON THE HEADER OF THE REPORT GENERATED. IT COULD BE THE THIRD LINE OF THE TITLE ON REPORT. WE HAVE CHOICES TO CREATE DIFFERENT REPORTS BUT EACH TIME WE PRINT A REPORT IT HAS THE SAME TITLE AND IT CAN GET CONFUSING ON WHICH REPORT YOU PRINTED. EXPECTED OUTCOME IS TO HAVE THE DESCRIPTION OF THE REPORT (WE DO CREATE IT WHEN WE CREATE THE REPORT) ON THE HEADER OF THE REPORT.

Select Phone Category Field in Employee Access
Enable employees to maintain their phone numbers and select Phone Category and Type. This information would then populate the information on the Phone/Email tab. District could have a Notification Phone Category so that users could select to use for school closing. Data could then be exported and uploaded to 3rd party software. Districts are currently requesting the information it is not updated in Skyward only in the 3rd party software. Would allow single entry of data. Employees can keep their phone numbers updated for notification when necessary. Districts could have an open period to allow employees to update their numbers…

Report Print Options at All Levels
The goal is to allow any/all pre-verifiers and approvers the options of printing the Reimbursement Report for their records is necessary. Currently only the employee submitting the Expense Reimbursement and AP staff have the capability of printing this report. Make the Print option button available to any pre-verify or approver throughout the Expense Reimbursement process.

Positive Pay for SBAA
Avoid Check Fraud Positive pay would be most helpful in preventing check fraud. Fraudsters are targeting school districts. Our distract has prevented check fraud on the Accounts Payable side but we have no way of preventing on the SBAA side.

Need Ability to Add More Than 30 Detail Lines
Users cannot add more than 30 detail lines in Detail Line Entry. They have to create 2 RQ's when spreading expenses across 35 schools using the same Invoice number with the suffix of a and b. Users should be able to click and Add More button and add an unlimited number of detail lines (or at lease well over 30).

Mass add auto approval rules
In the Purchase order groups setup I currently have to go into each group to update the auto approval rules. I would like a mass add function so that I can select multiple groups and apply the auto approval rules to the groups that I select so that I don't have to individually update every one of them. This would be a great time saver!

Inactive Employee does not display Online Form
When an employee is inactivated you can no longer view completed online forms even when the form is still active. You have to activate the employee to see history on the completed online form.

Garnishment calculation
US Department of Education calculates disposable earnings as Gross less taxes less health insurance less WRS pension. Also has a base minimum poverty earnings that excludes the deduction is earnings are too low. Skyward only has the standard disposable calculation of Gross less taxes. Negative impact: Federal Law failure to comply with correct calculation. Add another disposable calculation option that follow the US Dept of Education calculation that also includes the option of minimum earnings by employee.

Enhancements to the EM Pay Distribution Report
Would like to have an option to Display Repeating Fields so that we can convert to Excel and have the account codes listed for each person. We'd also like to have the building code and FTE added to this report. Our goal would be to have something similar to the Employee Costing Report found under Salary Negotiations. See attached file with screen shots. Either add an option to Display Repeating fields (as used in the Payroll Account Distribution Report) or adjust the Convert to Excel process to repeat the account codes. The current report has room for more fields to…

Employees need to identify type of phone and email
Employees need to be able to identify which type of phone and email each one is. Currently they can’t identify any phone number and only emails 2-4 can be identified via employee access. On the HR side I can however identify phone 2 and 3 but not one. Our request would be that via employee access they can identify all phone numbers and email addresses. If not they should be specified by the system. Our request would be that via employee access employees can identify all phone numbers and email addresses.

Detail Activity
Please take a look at the attached printscreen and tell me if you think that this is detailed activity. Not sure how it can be detailed when it doesn't contain any type of description vendor information payment date etc. Could the detailed information be added to this screen instead of going two screens back to get that information.

Deduction Benefit History-/Payroll Date Selection
A date range or something needs to be added to this area. When I have 20 years of information and I need to gather ALL 20 years and we do 3 payrolls a month do you know how many CLICKS THAT IS? I know an RFE was put in a few years ago. This seriously needs to be fixed on the web side of Payroll.

Data Mining True Time
In data mining when pulling True Time info it would be helpful to have the information on if the time is unsubmitted submitted approved. Supervisors are able to access their employees’ timesheets based on if they are Unsubmitted Unapproved or History so there must be an indicator already in place with the current status of the time. Currently we have a certain group of employees who when they use a specific pay code need to add a note with an explanation. We run a report to see the dates and notes but we can’t tell if the time has been…

Clone Substitute as part of Time Off Trans Clone
It would be great to have the option of cloning the Substitute as part of the Time Off transaction clone process. I most often use the clone process for FMLA or long-term situations and many times the substitute is the same for the whole period. As it is right now I can clone the time off but then have to edit each transaction any way to update the sub field. Although it would add a step it would be great if a preview screen would pop up showing the dates time off type reason and sub for the days you…

Clone as Vacancy
Skyward gives you the option to clone an assignment to a different employee but it would also be helpful to have the option to clone the assignment as a vacant assignment. Right now there is only an option to add vacant assignment so you have to manually enter all of the information from the employee leaving to the vacancy.

Account Transaction Ledger
We can run a report to show the transactions on an account but cannot see the other side. We want to be able to track all the transactions against an account - both debits and credits to see both sides of the transactions. For instance we want to see the activity for our discount GL but need to see the other side of that posting. For now we have to drill into each transaction to look for the debit/credit against that transaction - for every transaction.

Ability to import data into Personnel records
We need the ability to import information into the Name table. Currently we have a need to move the phone number from the primary phone field into the second phone field as it is blank for most users. The second phone will be used to call for emergency school closures as the primary phone field contains the school number pulled in state reporting. Currently we use PowerSchool for our Student information. They have the ability using the key field for the table as Entry 1 and then specifying the field where the information is to be placed.
