Requisition/Purchase Order comparison
We need a report to compare the prior year's purchase order totals by group to the current year's requisition totals by by group. For example, you can see that 1st grade spent $1,200 this year and then you can see that they have requisitioned $1,300 for next year. This would greatly help to be able to compare the information for reasonableness from year to year. It would be ideal for the information to be available to the approvers in the requisition approval screen. Attached are excel versions of a report that I created
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea and the example files.
Have you tried using the requisition/PO listing report? This report can sequence by group and run by Fiscal Year to review comparisons.
Thank you.

Adding a Room field within Skyward Business
I think it would be great to have a room number field within Skyward Business. Our IAM system syncs with Skyward and it would be great to pull the room number from one central source and push out all of this to our other downstream systems.
1 voteHave you tried creating a Custom Form with a new Field for Room Number? You could use Skycoder from Human Resources to attach the Custom Form to Screens and collect the Room Number.

Expand Pay Record Import to include Benefits/Deductions for Existing Pay plus Funding Allocation for the New Assignment
Within Human Resources > Payroll > Assignment Export/Payroll Import (WH\PA\AE), On the export/import screen there are 2 options for importing pay records. There is an issue when exporting/importing multiple assignments with the same pay code during the same fiscal year. The first option imports the correct funding but drops most of the benefits and deductions. The second option imports the benefits and deductions assigned to the existing pay records, but prorates the funding allocations from both assignments and creates split funding. I would like to request a combination of the two:
Import the benefits and deductions assigned to the existing…

pseudo approval
When looking at historical pseudo approvals , we would be nice to know if the employee requested for a set amount or a percentage. We can see that they requested a deduction amount but we can't confirm if they wanted a set amount or a percentage withheld. (checking to see if we set it up correctly) Just a letter like "P" for percentage next to the word deduction - would be helpful.

Could you attach a screenshot of the area you are referring to in your product idea? There are several areas that fall under "pseudo approvals" and we want to make sure we fully understand your request.

Add School Year to Requests Waiting for Approval View
I would like to request that a column be added to the Requests Waiting for Approval screen to show the School Year that the approval is for. The data is available on the request, but users need to drill into the details currently in order to see it. Having it on the main view screen would allow our users to be more efficient.

Add a TRS step field on Salary Hourly Mass Change to be able to give different amounts to different years of experience
We are beginning to give raises based on years experience since HB3. We are giving teachers with 0-5 years experience one dollar amount and anyone 6-25 years experience a different amount. I am doing an export and import so I don't have to individually give every teacher a raise but it would be so much easier to just be able to filter this on the Salary/Hourly mass change and add the dollar amounts to the specific years of experience.

Please add a message after updating Purchase Orders
I would like to see a message after running a Batch to Open for Purchase Orders. Something that says "You have finished Updating your Batch to Open Purchase Orders". I am often interrupted during the process and not sure I have started it. So I run it again and of course get and error at that time.

Employee Access
Pseudo Approval: I have had employees ask if they would receive a system generated notification informing them as to the determination of their change request. I recommend to all employees to make direct deposit changes in Skyward, but once they are approved or denied they are not notified other than by me telling them. Could this be a process to which the employee would receive a system generated email upon approval or denial of the change request?

multiple overlays in sub tracking configuration
In the Substitute Tracking Configuration, Skyward only allows for one default overlay in the account distribution. We have a need to have at least a second option similar to the account distribution overlay in employee managment>additional pay codes. Without this, we have to change every single sub when pulled in from absence management to change the project code since we already the overlay with the object code. This adds another hour each day to processing sub tracking. While I understand that we could have account codes in Absence Management, the number of codes we have are a lot and that…

Provide a way to capture SSI and Medicare exempt wages
When someone has a certain work visa, they are exempt from Social Security and Medicare tax on their wages. It would be nice to have Skyward keep track of these earnings via an exempt pay code. When we run the quarterly 941 this would reduce those wages and not include them in those earnings categories. Right now this has to be done manually which can create a chance for a error(s) when completing the 941.

Invoice approval - payment type
Would it be possible to add the payment type field to the invoice master field on the invoice approval screen? We use various payment methods - wire, ACH and checks. It would be helpful in our approval process to see that the correct payment method has been selected.

My Employee's Time Off Per Week - Widget
It looks like currently the My Employee's TIme Off Per Week widget is only programmed to look at individuals directly under the current supervisor and not the individuals underneath the people below the individuals.
Our time off requests in Skyward first go the Payroll Secretary, then the Administrator. At this time, only the Secretary has access to see all staff in their building via a quick glance of My Employee's Time Off Per Week. It would be helpful if Administrators could see all staff that they complete an approval for within the My Employee's Time Off Per Week widget (not…

Send Advice of Deposit notices to multiple vendor contacts

In PAC, Reporting, Detail check history. 1) have a "look up" button. 2) be able to create folders for reports I want to keep.
1) I save a lot of reports in Detail Check History. It would be nice to have a "lookup" feature, so I don't have to scroll through all of them. i.e. ones starting with a "T". 2) It would be very helpful to have folders where I can save & store reports for future reference. i.e. for Audits. Then I do not have to re-create them. But then they are also not cluttering the rest of my reports. Or also to have folders for reports I run every pay day--have them all together in one folder. Kind of like "saved…
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea. We've reviewed it and have the following suggestions to try instead:
(1) On the Web, the Vendor Check History has a lookup feature.
(2) We've heard from other Skyward customers that they use a prefix on the report description for grouping reports, this would also help when using the lookup feature on the Web.
(3) On the Web, you can schedule Reports, this is one solution to implement for the reports you run daily.

Super User/ Administrator
A super user or administrator should be able to access, delete, or modify anything that is needed no matter what. There are several instances where administrators need to login under the individual user to make changes and this should not need to be done.
1 voteSkyward recommends using proper segregation of duties for the best internal controls with one super user per database. This ensures that multiple people do not have too much unauthorized access. Please check with your auditor to review best practices for internal controls.

Professional Development Request - option to display WI PI 34 Standards or no
