  1. It would be great if you could print Copy A that is submitted to the IRS for 1099's, if there is an issue efile you can submit via mail

    It would be great if Copy A of 1099s can be printed from skyward. If there is an issue wit e-file with the IRS there is an option to print instead of handwrite all 1099's

    Thank you for submitting this idea. Our Federal Reporting and Compliance Department reviewed it and provided the following response:


    Because Copy A is only valid when printed on specialized paper forms obtained directly through the IRS, it is in the best interest of our users to not offer that particular printing option since submitting the forms on the wrong paper could result in penalties from the IRS.

    Thank you!

  2. Re-print damaged checks without having to update accounting

    After printing paper checks but prior to Accounting update, include a question if all checks printed correctly. If the answer is yes, the accounting update proceeds as normal. If the answer is no, populate the list of checks that were printed with a checkbox next to each one. Checks that did not print properly would have the box(es) marked, along with a new print range for blank checks. This process repeats itself until all checks print properly.

    Thank you for submitting this idea. At this time, we will not consider it for development.

    Skyward does allow the reprint of checks prior to the Update option.

    It is our recommended best practice for all districts to review the checks to confirm they have printed correctly prior to running the update.

    During the update process Skyward provides a “triple confirmation”. When updating: you have to click Update, which brings you to the Update screen, then you have to click Update again, and then you receive a final window prompt to confirm you want to update.

    The ability to choose to print only certain pages exist through standard printer options.

    This idea will remain open for continued voting and commenting by the Skyward user community.

    Thank you!

  3. Ability to adjust vendor name font size when printing checks

    We need the ability to adjust font size for the vendor name printed for both A/P and Payroll checks. Our bank has indicated that increasing the font size would make the check more friendly to machine reading for increased security. This issue was raised by our bank as they reviewed our checks for a fraud prevention program.

    Thank you for submitting this idea. Nelco is the authorized partner of compatible paper forms for the Skyward software. All W-2 and 1099 forms, checks, and school forms are guaranteed 100% compatible. Any issues with the check layout will need to be handled by Nelco as Skyward is unable to alter the format in anyway.

  4. Check Stub Printing

    We would like to have the check stub for our checks print in 2 parts instead of having to print the check and then print a separate voucher (and in the case of SBAA they have to photo copy the checks because there isn't a voucher option). We purchased our checks from the Skyward recommended vendor Nelco and the checks come with a perforation in the stub to be able to print that way. We are wasting money and time by having to print vouchers and make photocopies. I'm surprised more districts haven't complained about this. This is an enhancement…

  5. email PO orgin for items marked as pending receipt

    To generate an email when the AP department puts an invoice in "pending receipt status". This would save them from having to send an email out separately to remind them or verify that they have received the items in question.

    Add a notification similar to those that are under "user preference" for requisitions. Or also it could be possible added under the FM Config where we can set up to have an email sent to the originator when a PO exceeds to the PO amount by a certain %.

  6. Quick Add option to invoice entry

    In the Invoice Detail Lines/Accounting a Quick Edit/Add option would save time for invoices with many codes.
    This would be similar to the JE option to have a quick add/edit

    We’d like to thank everyone who voted on this idea and took the time to either respond to requests for feedback or took the time for conversations over the phone.

    We’ve been researching this request and after many conversations decided not to pursue this enhancement. We would love to deliver a quick add option to AP Invoice and fully understand the benefits from the user’s perspective. However, the complexities involved with the various account allocation options significantly complicates our ability to provide a one-size-fits-all approach.

    Please continue to review the Ideas Portal, cast your votes, and add comments to ideas you support. We will continue to review and research them.

  8. Proxy on Expense reports

    Goal: Be able to enter an expense report on another persons behalf. This would be helpful if a manager hands off a receipt for reimbursement the assistant is able to enter this as an expense and be the "proxy" for the manager. The assistant would enter the information and the approval would go to the manager for approval and then through workflow if needed.
    The expected outcome would be keeping the check request and expense reimbursements separated and still be able to see workflow.

  9. Mass selecting recurring entries to create invoice

    It would be great if we could mass select recurring entries for creating invoices for payment. Having to select each one at a time is much more time consuming than if we could select several at a time from the list.
