  1. Separate cascading group codes in Employee Access

    Cascading group codes should not be grouped together in "My Time Off Status". When they are lumped together it is difficult for the employee to know how much time of each code they have remaining. Yes, they can drill down to see the balances, but in my experience they do not. Per our policy employees must take PTO before they can take sick leave and we have a cascading group set up for this. Therefore, in our case employees use all their PTO and don't always know it because the available balance still includes the sick leave. When they are…

  2. Language Preference

    Allowing the End User a language preference would be extremely helpful. Especially in Employee Access when an employee speaks and reads in a different language. This would be a huge benefit for those having to use Time Off and True Time.

  3. Include Building Location Column under Employees on the Advanced Employee Lookup screen

    On the Advanced Employee Lookup screen, it would be helpful to have the Building location column under the Employees Section where you select from the filtered list. So if I am looking for a person and only know their first name, employee type and building, it would be easier to find the person in Skyward.

  4. Purchasing Reports

    When running a Purchasing Report (specifically PO Payment History and Account Number Sequence reports - I would like to see the option to select a Fiscal Year so that when you have opened your new fiscal year you can run reports of purchase orders for the current fiscal year only instead of getting both fiscal year's PO's.

  7. Pay multiple invoices on one check in SBAA

    It would be fantastic if we could pay multiple purchase orders with one check in SBAA..... similar to what we can do on the Financial Management side. Currently, if I have 20 open purchase orders to Cardmember Services, I am writing 20 individual checks. Time-consuming and a waste of check stock. Thanks for your consideration.

  8. Edit Expense Reimbursement Code Name

    The ability to edit expense reimbursement code names. We track mileage between sites, and it would be nice to change so the codes from one school are all grouped together. It would be nice to change the name to allow this for users to find codes easier.

  10. Select multiple credit card transactions and attach to a purchase order or budget code.

    I would like to be able to select multiple CC transactions for a purchase order or a budget code. I have to individually select the purchase order for multiple transactions even though they are on the same purchase order. The same thing is true when I am submitting an expense report that only has a budget code. The other part to a purchase order is when I attach a receipt to a transaction with a purchase order, the receipt does not attach to the acutal po. I have to do that separately.

  11. Worksheets

    I am requesting that worksheets be changed back to the original format before the recent update (last couple of weeks). You have moved the "master" & "detail" columns which I think is confusing. Also, now on the "Detail for Selected Worksheet Master", it is in some sort of Skyward format which cannot be changed. I can no longer see both the amount and the factor which is necessary. I can move the arrow on the bottom, but then the name disappears. Not sure why this change was made........

    Also, for the report for the worksheet entries, when I print out…

  13. "Detail for Selected Worksheet Master" the viewing order has changed due to an update.

    Payroll Worksheet Screen on the right side "Detail for Selected Worksheet Master" the viewing order has changed. I'm told this is due to the recent update. This is where we quickly double check our entries. Can you please bring back or allow us to change the view on the Detail for Selected Worksheet. We need to view Name, Factor Hours, pay code and amount.

  14. Add a field to employee data mining

    I want to add the "comments" field that is under the employee profile, personnel tab, under additional information; to employee data mining.

    I thought any field could be added to data mining, and I noticed this particular field is not an option to choose from when building data mining reports.

    Is there a way to be able to set up High Priority Days that would set a flag when an employee submits for the particular day. At the beginning of the year we would have to set these days to be flagged.

    Thank you for submitting the product idea!


    The check reconciliation browse can be used to sort by check number to view and export based on check number and can be sorted. This is located through Web Financial Management > Accounts Payable > Check Reconciliation.

  17. Choose Invoice Status to See

    For invoice entry screen change the "status" to have the ability to check a box next to which ones you want to see. You can simplify the choices and allow greater control. For example I would like to be able to see those in batch and those waiting approval at the same time, but I can't because it is not a separate option to select.

  18. Allow approvers to edit exp accts

    Allow invoice approvers to edit expense accounts. This would let them make any changes without having to send it back and forth multiple times. Something that would also be helpful is if the expense accounts could be shown as part of the "grid" that you can see without having to do a drop down.
