Add Vendor Phone # to Vendor Info on Profile
Add Vendor Phone # to Vendor Info on Profile - this will eliminate the need to open a new window or get out of Invoices and going to General Tab to get the phone number while working with vendor on AP Invoice issues
3 votesThank you for submitting the product idea!
We have reviewed it and would like to offer a suggestion on how to get the information you are looking for.
In Vendor Browse (Web Financial Management > Vendor > Vendor Browse), you do also have the ability to create a custom filter which would allow you to see the phone number easily and re-arrange the fields to fit your needs.
Thank you!

Remove Batch lock feature
What is the purpose of the "Batch lock"? Several of the secretaries gets block and I have to unblock them before I can update PO's. It's such a waste of time.

Add "Approve and Re-route" option in invoice approval.
Our A/P Specialist enters invoices, which then come to me for final approval. I would like to be able to route them to someone else for approval after I verify the accounting code.
1 voteThank you for submitting this idea.
We suggest trying this alternative solution:
Add everyone who needs to approve certain accounts as level 3 approvers and then send them an email whenever an account is used that one of them needs to approve so they can go look at the invoice.
We will continue to research the feasibility of adding a more streamlined approve and re-route option to the system. We will keep this Idea open for continued support by the Skyward user community.
Thank you!

Student side talk to the AP Side
We do lots of refunds to parents - especially this year when meals were free. It would be so much easier if you could pull up the parent name and address and add it to AP like do an employee.
4 votesThank you for submitting this idea request. We have two suggestions to help assist with paying parents and guardians via AP.
First option: If you’re looking to pay a few parents or guardians, you can navigate to Financial Management > Vendor > Add a Vendor. When using a name that is already set up on the student side as an emergency contact and guardian, the system will find that person and allow you to add them as a vendor directly from that guardian.
Second option: If you’re looking to pay many parents or guardians, we suggest using the Vendor Import. This can be found by navigating to Financial Management > Vendor > Product Setup > Utilities. The import file has a predefined import format and is tab delimited. It is a traditional import with a preview browse and verification report.
Once the parents or guardians are entered as vendors it…

ACH email to vendor needs to include invoice, description, and amount
When sending ACH emails, currently it is just a generic "you are getting a deposit on this date". This does not help when sending multiple ACHs out with multiple invoices included to the vendor. The vendor does not know where to apply the credit. It would be nice to have the email generate the invoice number, description, and amount that is entered for the check request. The email should show the same information that the check stub shows when you print a regular check.
6 votesThank you for submitting this idea.
This functionality already exists in SMS and is hard coded into the system.
The email that is sent to the vendor when an ACH payment is processed contains a breakdown of the invoice information:
1. Direct Deposit Amount
2. Date
3. Invoice #
4. Description
5. Invoice AmountThe above information is only sent in the email itself. There is no preview information in the email setup.
You can go to Product Setup>System Admin>Email History
From here you can find the email sent to the Vendor, expand it, and see the actual info sent to the vendor.Thank you!

Attachment to emailed PO's
When attaching documents to a requisition, there is an option to check a box that says "send attachment with PO". It would be helpful if the default to this was "yes" - with the box checked. Staff do not realize they should check that box in order to include the attachment. 95% of the time we would include the attachment with the emailed PO. This would avoid us having to go into each requisition that has an attachment. menu path WF/PU/MR/RE/AT - when you click add file or link.
8 votesThank you for submitting this idea. We suggest using Skycoder to make the “Send Attachment with PO” default to “Yes”.
If you don’t have someone at the district to create JavaScript, we can provide this code to use in Skycoder:
// On add of a file, initialize Email with purchase orders to checked
if (document.getElementById(‘vMaintOption’).value == ‘add’) {
$(‘#cEmailPO’).prop(‘checked’, true);
}Thank you!

Bank Rec - Details on Cash Receipts
I am requesting an option to print cash receipts details when printing the reconciliation report. Right now we just have a "Total Cash" entry as the description under the Cash Receipts section on the reconciliation report. I want to be able to justify the total cash amounts by utilizing the descriptions for each CR entry that was entered without having to go back to each Cash Receipts posted.

Best Practice recommendation is to enter one cash receipt per batch number when you do cash receipt entry. In addition, go to PaC, System Admin, Fin Mgmt, Install Info, System Options, and make sure the flag for “Budgetary Accounting Update Summarize By Batch” is set to Yes. This will ensure each cash receipt is listed separately in the Cash Receipts area of the bank rec, which will make reconciling much easier.If you do not want to enter one cash receipt per batch number, you can use the Receipt Number field on the cash receipt entry screen instead. If you have the software assign a Receipt Number to each deposit, you can create a Cash Receipts report (Financial Management, Account Management, Account Mgmt Reporting, General Inputs History), sorted and totaled by Receipt Number. This report should make reconciling cash receipts easy. (We still recommend…
