  1. Mass Delete Sub Tracking Transactions in Third Party Workfile

    Add a Mass Delete Sub Tracking transactions under > Third Party Imports > Maintain Sub Tracking Workfile based on selected errors generated by the system.

    There are times when a district has uploaded the ST detail transactions then decides additional records for the same date range need to be added. If using the same date range all the previously added records create a fatal error.

    Create a utility to mass delete the errors, by specific error message from a drop down list, in Maintain ST. Suggest this be hidden behind a # sign or be added under Product Setup> Contact…

  2. True Time Reports

    On the True Time Report on the web, it would be nice to have an option to export to excel in order to help calculate paid time for payrolls. Right now we can only print the report. Can there be an option to export to excel? Thanks

  3. "Participates in Sick Bank" Field

    We have a sick bank and many employees participate. We would like the "particpates in sick bank" field under the Time Off category to be veiweable by employees in their employee portal. So when they log into Employee Accesss and Time Off, they should see if they are a member or not. This would save us a lot of time and provide info to employees so they don't have to ask us to look up their status and wait for us to reply.

  4. Add a report for denied invoice approval

    We want to be able to run a report for denied invoices that also includes the reason for the denial. We use the Name/Note field that is under Action History under the Approval History of an invoice. Can this option be added?

  5. Option to translate the text.

    A button for staff to translate the text to their primary language would be helpful. At least in the True Time modul. Our workplace is diverse and having this feature would be beneficial to all of our staff.

  6. Multiple PO's/Invoices on Check

    We really need to be able to pull in several PO's/Invoices on a check. If not, we are printing a check for each invoice! That gets expensive.

  8. Time Off Import

    It would be beneficial if there was a way to delete errors/warnings and run what will import. I am trying to capture any days that was missed in the initial import from a Third Party.

  9. Insurance Tracking: a mass utility process to merge sub plan history from one plan to another.

    We'd like to request a mass utility process to merge sub plan history from one plan to another. (Premiums collected to date on the old plan to the new plan history). You can only do it person by person.

  10. Insurance Tracking: Ability to clone dependents into new plan (can clone existing members, but not dependents now)

    We recently built a new plan for our dental coverage based on changes that will be coming down the pike. I cloned all existing members from the old plan set up to the new plan set up. That was easy. What doesn't happen, however, is the dependents that were on the prior plan don't also move to the new plan with the cloned employees. Therefore, I had to go into each employee's insurance tracking record and re-clone their dependents into the new plan. It took a lot of time.

  11. Ability to make the Time Sheet Approve/Deny notes field required

    When a supervisor is approving Time Sheets, we would like the ability to make the Notes field for approval or denial reasons required. This would be a toggle for the district to choose if they require the supervisor to enter some sort of note or not.

  13. REPORT COMMODITY CODE SORTED BY CONTRACT OR CONTRACT SORTED BY COMMODITY CODE.

    We need a report that shows Commodity Codes sorted by Contract or vise-versa. When you print a Commodity Code report, you have to individually subtract the ones used on Contract that need deleted from the total in order to see where you are at on your usage.

  14. Expense Reimbursement

    One improvement we see is if Skyward would tie this in Time Off transaction(s) and let us choose an existing time off request as one of the steps so we aren't having to duplicate some of the info and attachments. Adding this step may help in the decision to use the process.

  15. transfer purchase order to new

    Bookkeepers sometimes change from one school/facility to another during the school year. A purchase order created by a bookkeeper in August, might be received by a new bookkeeper who now occupies that position in September. When the new bookkeeper receives the PO, the old bookkeeper gets the receiving email notification, which the old bookkeeper does not need. In HR there is the clone/replace utility. That utility needs an option to updated the "Entered by" field on purchase orders to the new bookkeeper. The only solution our districts have found is to use the Advanced DB Fix utility for what should…

  17. Allow Change of Font in Check Printing in SBAA

    Our bank has recommended a change in font on our checks in order to avoid exceptions (due to the check being misread) when the check clears the bank. Would Skyward ever consider giving District's the ability to change font size and type?

  19. Inventory Receiving Approval Chain

    Have an approval chain for inventory items received to verify PO Units to Receive, PO Received Unit Cost, PO Received Total Cost agrees with Stock Received Units, Stock Received Unit Cost and Stock Total Cost and that the Stock Units per PO Unit Received are correct so there are no large quantities received in the hundreds, or thousands that are not correct and result in large cost to district by having to account for large amount of dollars not in inventory and/or having to write off.

  20. Requesting Time Off for a Specific Fiscal Year/From that Specific Year's Allocations

    We would like to suggest that Time Off can be requested for a specified fiscal year. Example: current school year is 2022-2023 and the employee has a scheduled trip during the 2023-2024 (following) school year. We would like the employee to have the option to select the calendar year to submit their request from 'that fiscal year's time off allocations' (not the current year's allocations).
