  1. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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…

  6. "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.

  7. 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.

    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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  14. To include entire PO numbers on Invoices. Right now if a PO starts with a zero, the leading zeros are being left off.

    Our PO's start with our entity numbers, however when they are printed on Invoices the leading zeros are being left off. For Example one entity is 001 and so when the PO number shows up on the Invoice it starts with 1 instead of showing 001.

  15. Favorite Widget Expansion - To allow for more favorites to be displayed rather than scroll to find them within widget.

    Most days the Favorite Widget is my GO-TO..... I would like to be able to expand this to the full column length in order to see the items I use frequently, rather than scroll through the widget to click on them.

  17. License expires field or background check field on personnel page

    WI DPI has a lifetime license, however, a background check needs to be done every five years. It would be great to have a field that could be exported to excel so I would know who's license will expire. The paper license from DPI does not have a background check date. We will not know when a license will expire because a teacher forgot to submit a background check.

  20. Add a Disposal Date to an Asset record for accurate depreciation calculations

    Currently, Skyward will not calculate any depreciation for the year once an assets is tagged as disposed. A disposal date needs to be added to the asset record and Skyward needs to calculate the partial depreciation in the disposal year based on that the disposal date.
