  1. Correct Reimbursement Report Totals

    The goal of this enhancement is to accurately show the reimbursement total in the various fields within the Expense Reimbursement process and on the printed report. Currently the totals include the Direct Bill Amounts which is not made clear to the users/approvers. We would like to see a grand total for all expenses incurred by the employee less the Direct Bill items and then a final balance for the actual Reimbursement amount. It appears that Skyward is already capturing the reimbursement amounts separately in the activity screens but not clearly reporting them throughout the process.

  2. Changes made to the TRS Staff Salary New Extract

    The extract has been changed to only include active employees. However To provide accurate reporting on TEA Staff Salary report. Inactive Profiles need to be added back to the extraction which include the last payroll and term dates. Also it would be better for the extraction to pull from pay history and not just active employees. I am going back checking some things with the new way of reporting it would be nice if the Skyward report had which month the data is extracted from when looking at multiple months. Having the terms and inactive profiles is helpful sometimes we…

  3. Budgeting on the Web and E-Commerce

    Our district creates the next year's budget by having the teachers enter budget requests through BOTW. We've also started using e-commerce ordering which has been tremendously helpful. However BOTW and E-commerce don't currently talk to each other so our schools have to re-enter the order information that the teachers have already entered. We would like to be able to spin a Purchase Requisition off a Budget Request in E-Commerce like we can through traditional order entry.

  4. Auto Populate Due Date when Invoice Date Changes

    Currently users must first enter the Invoice Date and then the Vendor. After the Vendor is entered the Due Date updates. If the Vendor is chosen first then the Invoice Date the Invoice Due Date does not update to the Due Date per the terms on the Vendor Card. Users should be able to choose the Vendor then populate the Invoice Date and then the Due Date should auto update based on the Vendor Terms.

  5. Allow Req Changes for Emails 1 2 3 and 4

    Allow users to enter personal email address for emails 2 3 and 4 for notifications. Information could then be exported/imported to a third party software. Employees are entering and maintaining their information in one system Skyward. Office staff is not manually updating the information in Skyward and then exporting to 3rd party. Saves District staff time in maintaining this information. Add Email 1 2 3 and 4 with the ability to select if employee can change using auto-approve approval needed read only or hide - just like Phone 1 2 and 3 fields.

  6. Allow Asset Code in Import for Credit Cards

    When we upload an asset code to the import for our credit card file it will not accept the asset code. After talking to Skyward customer service they stated that I would have to submit a Enhancement request because they system will not allow asset codes in the import. We would be able to upload 01 A 131 00 in our credit card imports. Allow asset liability and equity codes to be uploaded in the credit card import process.

  7. Adding more space to assignment code field

    We are needing additional space for assignment codes. As our district grows we create more specialized assignments that need to be readily identifiable from other assignments by name. (Ticket submitted 3697953) and was told this is not a field that we can set the length. Surely this is something that should be determined and set by a district. By making the field district set the district would be free to follow their own naming convention and be more specific as more specialized assignments are need to be created.

  8. retirement hours not populating

    When running a retirement report in data mining the 1/1/-6/30 hours are not populating. The monies come in and the year to date hours and monies come in but not the other hours needed. This causes us to have to run 2 reports for the end of the year retirement reporting to be able to get those hours.

  11. JE approval path streamlined

    Would like to have a journal entry approval path alternative for established dollar amount thresholds or for certain types of JE's.

    For example maybe entries over $50K go to the CFO rather than a Director,etc..
    Also would like to be able to see who prepared and reveiwed the JE on the screen or when printed for audit purposes.

    If you haven’t already tried the approve and reroute option, that might meet your needs:

    There is not a way to have conditional approval for Journal Entries in the way described in the question. What can be done, however, is that the Journal Entry setup can be done in such a way so as to allow rerouting approval to another user.

    When this option is turned on, Journal Entry approvers will be able to approve the journal entry and then send it to another User for approval.

    This User must be an approver in another Journal Entry Group.

    When entering Invoices into Skyward Finance, it would be nice to be able to change the Check Format at any point during the Invoice Entry process. The way it's set up now, the option to change Check Layout grays out and becomes unavailable after the Invoice Amount is entered.

  13. Add Alert for PD requests pending approval

    I think I may have asked this before but another supervisor has requested that I ask Skyward to add this feature. Professional development requests awaiting supervisor approval do create an email that alerts the supervisor of the request. However the alert feature within Skyward does not include those pending PD requests. I just found two PD requests over a year old that were waiting approval from the supervisor. The supervisor was unaware they were there because the onscreen alert (the yellow ball that indicates time sheets time off requests or requisitions requiring approval) doesn't include PD requests.

    Please consider adding…

  14. Physical Inv. Report

    We need a Class code to be added to The Physical Inv. Report. We would also like an Exclude button this would be MOST HELPFUL to Exclude a "Dept." or "Class" code. We have many departments that do not need to see all Class items. For example technology want to see C - Computers not everything else. Buildings & Grounds only want to see B&E Buildings and Equipment. For large districts this sorting feature is extremely important please make every attempt to add this feature we have gone to long with out it.

  15. Custom Audit Better Unemploy Comp Program Report

    Attached is a copy of the report form that is needed to submit to PSBA. We currently are running this report in Microsoft Access and this process requires many steps to accomplish. Please note that a software competitor CSIU has created this report for their clients. This is displayed at the bottom of this form.
    Our hope is that this report can be processed within Skyward and any user with payroll permissions can run.

  16. Cascading groups by employee type

    Cascading groups would solve a lot of problems for us if we could have a selection parameters filer to select by employee type. Our benefits are different for Admin, Teachers and Classified. But they all share similarities. Some have PTO, SICK and VAC. Some have PTO and SICK and others have PER, SICK and some even PER, SICK and VAC. There is no way to distinguish and that makes the module useless to us.

    Allow HR Custom Forms to be Skycoded onto Time Off Requests. Currently only "STUDENT CUSTOM FORMS" can be Skycoded onto an HR Employee Access - Time Off request.

    We'd like to understand this request better. What are you trying to accomplish with adding an HR Custom Form to Time Off Requests via Skycoder?


    An HR Customer Form is typically used to add extra fields for an Employee and we'd understand the usefulness on the Employee Edit Screens. 


    By adding extra fields to the time off request are you expecting to edit the same information for that employee for every time off request? Is it informational only? 


    More details for how you'd expect this to work and what you're expecting to happen will help us understand this request.


    Thank you!

    TRS REP25 Records Clone Button

  19. Add contract override to employee management

    In Florida for surveys you are required to have a matrix and have employees on the matrix, however if you give a raise that is not based on the matrix or performance pay you cannot possibly have a matrix that has 500 or more different amounts on it. We need to be able to place employees on a matrix, but then have a contract override amount that pays them with their raise amount.
