  1. I think it would great if you could choose payrolls and not only dates on the payroll expense report

    I think it would great if you could choose payrolls and not only dates on the payroll expense report. You already do this on the deduction benefit history report. If you could choose specific payrolls on the payroll expense report it would be your best payroll report. Also is there any way to tie the Sequence ID to saved reports from payroll for example the check verification register. If I did 5 payrolls in July, I would love to not have run the report on each one in payroll expenses to see which one it is. I am attaching a…

  2. check payee number of characters = positve pay file number of characters

    Make the name of the payee on the check exactly match the vendor name in the positive pay file allowing the bank an extra safeguard against fraud.

  6. MFA - IP Range option

    Please add the option to exclude our district IP range from MFA requirements. This would allow staff to login without having to authenticate through MFA as long as they are onsite.

  7. Please make check request invoice information "talk" to the rest of Skyward

    Currently if a duplicate invoice is entered through A/P, Skyward will alert the user that the invoice is already in the system. Unfortunately, if a check request is entered with a duplicate invoice number, it does not alert the user. We have run into duplicate payments as some invoices come to A/P for payment unaware that a teacher has also received it and enters a check request a month after A/P has already paid it. Neither person gets any kind of notice that the invoice in check request is already in the system. These duplicate payments are not good accounting…

  9. SBAA Chart of Accounts

    On the Chart of Accounts, when using Filter Options - Destination Browse: Chart of Accounts with PO Amounts and Account Types: BS Accounts, show the PO Amount Remaining for purchase orders that were created using the Expense account that corresponds to the Equity account. Since the Q account is the net of the Revenue & Expense, why wouldn't the PO Amount show in that column? Treasurers would like to see at a glance what their actual account balance is, including their outstanding POs.

  10. SBAA Entity Configuration

    Add the option in SBAA Entity Configuration to restrict Account use by Account Type for Receipts. I'd like to only allow the selection of Revenue accounts for Receipts. That restriction exists for Purchase Orders.

  11. Customer Access Additional Information

    Regarding service call results, the summary email that is provided is great, but could the same information be added under the "View My Requests" section, or allow the user the ability to add an attachment of the summary in that area? This would be an excellent historical reference and may result in fewer duplicates of submissions because there is something organized to refer back to.

  12. Calendar Access to all

    I create all position calendars in the system each year for EM access. I would like for my directors, building principlas, managers to have access to thier subordinates calendars; this way they can plan trainings/PD's/etc around their staff members working days and they can better help to answer staff questions around working days.

  13. Total Amount Columns on Chart of Accounts

    Would like to see amount totals for each column in Chart of Accounts. When a filter is applied for a grant or group of accounts, it would be helpful if the view totaled the filtered accounts. See example attached from Skyward Competitor SchoolsOPEN Finance. Thank you for your consideration.

  14. Mass delete records in maintain extracted TCRS data

    We have 300 employees with a Fringe benefit that can not be reported to TCRS (TN specific) and there is no option to mass delete these records in the maintain screen. I have to go one by one to delete each month I have to process the report.

  16. Alternate/Back Up Approvers for Time Off and Time Sheets

    It would be useful if there was an option within Time Off Overseer to allow an overseer to not only see a specific supervisor's employees' time off but also be able to approve/deny time off requests when a supervisor is out for reasons such as illness, vacation or personal emergencies. I would also like to see an Overseer option in True Time with this same option. For example School Principals are the supervisors for their respective buildings. It would be quite useful if their Assistant Principal could approve time off and time sheets when Principal is out.

  17. Security Group or System setting to allow use of Skyward Password for Employee Access users

    Use a Security Group or a System/authentication setting to allow use of Skyward Password for Employee Access users.

    We have many former staff who we would like to provide Employee Access to for one year after they leave. Current employees use their LDAP password and we do not want them to use a Skyward Password. Former Employees do not have an active LDAP account so they must use a Skyward Password.

    We have the "Enable Most Secure Authentication Method" option turned on and that is forcing LDAP on the former employees. We can override on an individual basis but would…

  18. Our phone extensions are 6 digits but Skyward only allows 5 digits to be entered. Our Administration is quite adamant that we need this.

  19. Time Off Request by Range of Date

    Time Off Request by Range of Date does not allow an employee to include a weekend. The current error message reads that "none of the days in the date range are work days" which is misleading. Either make a change for the Request by Range to recognize and allow weekends or update the message to read "one or all of the days...".

  20. assignment import

    On a daily basis we in HR have to export individual assignments due to the addition of a stipend, a degree enhancement, adjust the FTE, to correct an error, etc. Having the capability to export an individual assignment from the “Emp Mgt Asn” screen would be greatly beneficial as a time saver. Using the Assignment Export/Payroll Import works great for exporting large groups of assignments but requires a good deal of clicks and con be time consuming just to export one assignment. I do not know if this would be possible but if so it would be greatly appreciated if…
