  1. Credit card report based on date of final approval

    We would like to be able to run a credit card report based on the date that the transaction is fully approved, regardless of when the transaction, import or post date is. For instance, a report of all transactions that were fully approved during October, even if the transaction date is in September.

  2. Credit Card: Allow access to view "Quick Key" & "Account Description" on Review/Submit Transaction and Approve Transaction screen

    It would be very helpful to all the "Quick Key" & "Account Description" columns to be an option on the Review/Submit transactions and Approve Transactions screen. This would be very similar to the option given for "Account 2" in the approve transactions screen.

  3. Credit Card: Select All Approval button only selects the transactions being viewed

    We have filters set up for each cardholder on the approval screen. It would be helpful if the "Select All" button only allowed to select all the transactions the approver views on the screen.

  4. Add option to add charter school employees to all formats for State Reporting

    In the State reporting maintain area there is an option to Add Charter Demographic Info but not to any of the other formats. It would be so helpful to be able to add charter school staff in all of the formats and be able to clone them year to year with the ability to edit and update fields. I find it hard at the moment to only add charter staff demographic information if we have to manually create files for all the other formats since they are not on our payroll.

  5. Crosswalks for Form 9 for Indiana

    It would be helpful if we could view only accounts without crosswalks when we are working on the Indiana Form 9. It takes such a long time to go through every account in PaC and each year the list gets bigger and bigger. If inactive accounts didn't show up (unless there was activity within a 6 month period), that would lessen the amount of accounts we have to go through each time.

  7. Cash Receipts Need to Show Bank Code

    It would be helpful to have the Bank Code print on the Cash Receipts. Especially when you are reconciling your bank statement, verifying daily deposits, or when the SBOA auditors are reviewing your receipts.

  8. Don't allow payroll to be posted to a prior date

    Currently payroll can post anything (PR, Corrections, Quick Voids, Etc.) to ANY date. Even if it is in a prior 6 month period. This really messes up our IN Form 9, our reimbursement requests, etc.. Instead of allowing them to just proceed through with a small warning, we should be able to set up an override by an administrator only if they want to post anything to a prior date.

  10. Online Leave Requests-Employee Positions

    It would be great if there was an ability to input employees positions/locations when submitting leave requests. Currently only the employee name shows up and has no other identifying info like if they are a teacher or aide, which school they work at, etc. As the person who finds their subs, I have to have a staff chart handy from year to year now, so I can look up what an employee does, if they haven't told me in the description. IF they remember to tag me on the request and it comes to my inbox, I can see which…

  11. When "importing benefits from pay records" in SN, is it possible not to wipe out _Vacant employees manually entered benefits?

    I create a Subs & Extra hours plan that I use each year for budgeting purposes in SN. This year I noticed when I combined my EM active plan and my SN Subs & Extra Hours plan into a SN Combined Budget plan and then imported benefits from pay records, it wiped out the _Vacant benefits from the plan. Then when I Generated Plan Detail, no benefit amounts were calculated for _Vacant positions.

  12. Annual Reimbursement Limits

    Allow for annual reimbursement limits. Example: Each year teacher's can receive up to $50 reimbursed for dues/professional membership fees. In Skyward, you can set a limit on the reimbursement type of $50, however that does not stop a teacher from being able to submit multiple requests of $50.

  13. When Using the Tardy Kiosk, have option to NOT ALLOW a Tardy Kiosk entry from overwriting Already Entered Attendance

    There's no way to tell the Tardy Kiosk to not overwrite attendance codes already entered in attendance. So if there is an entry in attendance, and a student punches in at the tardy kiosk, that entry overwrites the attendance code already there.

  14. Provide the ability for users to elect to hide SSN when running the Accumulated Sick Leave & Vacation Report

    With this report being generated and possibly sent to employees with no need to see SSN, it would be great if could to hide SSN when running the Accumulated Sick Leave & Vacation Report. Similar functionality exists elsewhere in the software and it makes sense to add it here as well.

    When allowing employees to change their Ethnicity in Employee Access, instead of Hispanic/Latino?, two separate boxes would be most beneficial. One box that states Hispanic Latino and another that states Non Hispanic/Latino

  16. Add district option to hide Credit Card number from Credit Card Trans Rpt

    Currently there is a option on the Credit Card Transaction Report screen to show the card number as a Full Number, Last Four Digits or Do Not Display. We'd like a district option to remove the choice of displaying the Full Number on the Credit Card Transaction Report. We instruct staff, with access to this, to choose either "last four digits" or "do not display", but they can select the "full number" option. To add a layer of security we would like to remove this option for all users in our district. WP\AP\CC\RE\CT

  18. Add ability to save parameters in Web reporting

  19. Detailed Reports by GLN

    In the past, I have always manually reclassed my liablities from GLN 206 to GLN 210 (due to other districts), 212 (due to other govn) and 220 (contracts payable). This year, I thought I would set the system up to book automatically to the correct GLN's. I was able to successfully do so, but then for the life of me, could not get a report to show the detail I booked to each liability account. I was on the phone with support for one full hour to no avail. I now have to manually go back through the list to…
