retirement hours not populating
When running a retirement report in data mining the 1/1/-6/30 hours are not populating. The monies come in and the year to date hours and monies come in but not the other hours needed. This causes us to have to run 2 reports for the end of the year retirement reporting to be able to get those hours.

Coupons with On-line Ordering
When using the on-line ordering especially for Quill they have coupon codes you have to enter to get money off depending on how much you order. One of the secretaries that was ordering didn't find a way to add the code. She called Quill and she said we had to check with Skyward. She put in a call to Skyward and they told her we needed to ask for the enhancement. Is it possible that we can get this added?

Detail Activity
Please take a look at the attached printscreen and tell me if you think that this is detailed activity. Not sure how it can be detailed when it doesn't contain any type of description vendor information payment date etc. Could the detailed information be added to this screen instead of going two screens back to get that information.

How to change cash account to be an ACH origin
We are in the process of centralizing activity funds and have set up a new bank account to process and pay purchase orders called Activity Funds. I attempted to ACH pay a vendor in AP and received the message The selected cash Account is not set up to be an ACH origin bank. Message attached. How do we change this cash account to be an ACH origin bank?

Shift Differential vs automatic OT pay code
I would like to submit a request for enhancement for Shift Differential in the Time Keeping Rules where you could select a shift differential pay code rather than it only allowing an automatic OT pay code. We have custodial staff who work evenings and anyone who works hours after 330pm receives a shift differential pay of $.60 per hour. For the last seven years I have manually calculated their shift differential by running a data mining report printing it and then counting their hours that they have worked after 330 pm. This is cumbersome and leaves room for human error.…

Covered individuals
For each employee I noticed that there is a box to say employee is a covered individual. Our district is self-insured so every covered individual must be reported. When you check the box the employee's information (name social and date of birth) does not automatically populate in the bottom. I had not added them manually in the bottom because a Skyward rep told me that the IRS will recognize the employee as covered because the box was checked. However the IRS does NOT accept the record and tells us that it is an error because the box is checked but…

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.
