budget attachments lilnked to actual account
Would it be possible to have the attachment be linked to the actual account? I would like to attach an Excel file to a specific account which would tie back to the budget. Currently the attachment is link to the description on the Budget Entry screen. As part of this the attachment would also have to available in the Account Profile Budget tab.

Switch post date to Batch date
The goal is to approve efficiency in looking up past posting (history). The Post Date is not something used on a daily basis and that has to be looked up before we can look up the entry. The number is more commonly used. Change Post Date to Batch Number Cash Receipt Number Journal Entry number for lookup at bottom of screen.

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…
4 votesThank 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.

Absence Count for Substitute Tracking
In our Substitute Handbook we give a substitute a $10.00 bump up in pay after they sub (in any capacity) 30 days. Substitutes will receive an increase of $10 to their daily rate ($5 for half day rate) after completing 30 substitute assignments in the school year. (Long term assignments are not eligible for this rate increase.) Skyward can track per sub type ie teacher sub para sub secretary sub etc. Our language states any day subbed counts in the 30 day count. This causes us to dump the Sub days from Aesop into an Excel spreadsheet and then calculate…

Option to perform rollback prior to incrementing
Rollback/move of balance overage is based on the years of service at the time of rollback/move. As currently configured employee is allowed to roll/move balances based on a higher experience value because years are incremented for an anniversary which may not occur for 8 months after the year-end process is performed. Employee rollback and move rules should be checked prior to incrementing years of service.

Data Mining True Time
In data mining when pulling True Time info it would be helpful to have the information on if the time is unsubmitted submitted approved. Supervisors are able to access their employees’ timesheets based on if they are Unsubmitted Unapproved or History so there must be an indicator already in place with the current status of the time. Currently we have a certain group of employees who when they use a specific pay code need to add a note with an explanation. We run a report to see the dates and notes but we can’t tell if the time has been…

Ability to Attach multiple documents at once
Regarding Cash Receipts and Journal Entries (ATTACHMENTS). I would like the ability to attach multiple saved attachments at the same time (by using the control key for example) to my cash receipt batches and journal entries. Currently we need to attach one document at a time and it is very time consuming. I think this request would benefit all Skyward software users not just my District. In a windows environment the control key within Windows Explorer usually allows the user to choose multiple files to upload or attach to emails for example.

Mass add auto approval rules
In the Purchase order groups setup I currently have to go into each group to update the auto approval rules. I would like a mass add function so that I can select multiple groups and apply the auto approval rules to the groups that I select so that I don't have to individually update every one of them. This would be a great time saver!

Positive Pay for SBAA
Avoid Check Fraud Positive pay would be most helpful in preventing check fraud. Fraudsters are targeting school districts. Our distract has prevented check fraud on the Accounts Payable side but we have no way of preventing on the SBAA side.

Deduction Benefit History-/Payroll Date Selection
A date range or something needs to be added to this area. When I have 20 years of information and I need to gather ALL 20 years and we do 3 payrolls a month do you know how many CLICKS THAT IS? I know an RFE was put in a few years ago. This seriously needs to be fixed on the web side of Payroll.

Employee Profile Master
I would like there to be an option to only show active employees on PaC in the Search tab in the Employee Profile Master screen. It takes me a long time to get to my employees when I have to search and filter through the non active employees. I think you could create a button that shows active non active and both.

Reset all quick filter ranges with one click
I often use the quick filters for filtering data in my browse screens. Currently if I have multiple filters in place I must reset each one individually in order to clear all the filters. This is frustrating. I wish there was a one click option to clear all my quick filter ranges.

Budgeting on the Web and E-Commerce
Our district creates the next year's budget by having the teachers enter budget requests through BOTW. We've also started using e-commerce ordering which has been tremendously helpful. However BOTW and E-commerce don't currently talk to each other so our schools have to re-enter the order information that the teachers have already entered. We would like to be able to spin a Purchase Requisition off a Budget Request in E-Commerce like we can through traditional order entry.

Mass Reactivate/Deactivate Time Off Code Utility
Currently there is no way to deactivate or reactivate a time off code. In the time off code set up I can select that a particular code cannot be seen in Employee Access. However I'd like to be able to mass deactivate a time off code that is no longer used. I would like to be able to reactivate a time off code that used to be used. For example we have used the time off code Protected Discretionary for a number of years for certified staff. However in negotiations they want it to be called Personal Leave. I want…
9 votesThank you for submitting the product idea and providing your use case for this. My understanding is you currently need to go into every profile and check the "Active?" box to either deactivate or reactivate. I just want to make sure we are understanding completely before diving further into this.
Thank you!

Approving credit card transactions
Due to so many credit card transactions under Review/Submit Transactions could you please add the select all transactions to approve? Last month I had 150 transactions to approve one by one. This takes a lot of time. I understand that the last approver has this option however it seems appropriate for other users as well. This will save so much time if I do not have to click submit 180 times.
5 votesGood Evening!
The functionality to select all Credit Card transactions to approve already exists! You can start selecting all credit card transactions to approve today!
Thank you and have a great day!

Enhancements to the EM Pay Distribution Report
Would like to have an option to Display Repeating Fields so that we can convert to Excel and have the account codes listed for each person. We'd also like to have the building code and FTE added to this report. Our goal would be to have something similar to the Employee Costing Report found under Salary Negotiations. See attached file with screen shots. Either add an option to Display Repeating fields (as used in the Payroll Account Distribution Report) or adjust the Convert to Excel process to repeat the account codes. The current report has room for more fields to…

Add Individual Employee Pull to True Time
We would like to be able to pull in an individual to pay for any True Time timekeeping rule. In the State of MN if an employee demands their final check we have to produce in 24 hours. We would like to use the system to calculate all money owed using what is entered in True Time. I have been told that the only way to do this is to manually create a check for the hours owed cut the check and then force the time sheets into history so that you do not pay them again for those hours…

Attaching a paycode to a time off entry
We have employee's that work 2 positions in the District. They submit their time off to individual supervisors per the job the system automatically applies the Time Off to their primary pay code.

Allow Asset Code in Import for Credit Cards
When we upload an asset code to the import for our credit card file it will not accept the asset code. After talking to Skyward customer service they stated that I would have to submit a Enhancement request because they system will not allow asset codes in the import. We would be able to upload 01 A 131 00 in our credit card imports. Allow asset liability and equity codes to be uploaded in the credit card import process.
