    Deferred  ·  AdminAshley Prinsen (Product Owner - Business Suite, Skyward SMS 2.0) responded

    We currently have the Transaction Pay Code in Payroll Worksheet which can be used to add a description why an employee is getting paid. Currently, what happens is when you select the Worksheet Detail record into Payroll, it pulls all the deductions/benefits from the Pay Record Pay Code, then renames the Pay Code to the Transaction Pay Code. When it comes through on the check, it’s the Transaction Pay Code, but everything is pulled from the Pay Record with the Pay Record Pay Code. Our suggestion is to create Transaction Pay Codes, but you won’t need to create pay records with them. By doing it this way, you’ll also create consistency between the different records vs a free form description box. This way will also handle any concerns about combining worksheet detail records into payroll transactions.

    Tell us More  ·  Admineriko (Product Owner, Skyward SMS 2.0) responded

    Thank you for submitting this Product Idea. We have reviewed it and would like to see more support from the Skyward user community.


    There are a few questions which we would like a better understanding on with this product idea:


    1.  Would a user preferences area be helpful so the user can decide how they want the option defaulted on how to update assignments?

    2. Are you only looking for when FTE is changed or when any area on the position control is changed?


    This Idea will remain open for the Skyward user community to show support by voting and commenting on it with additional use cases.


    Thank you!

    Try this Instead  ·  AdminAshley Prinsen (Product Owner - Business Suite, Skyward SMS 2.0) responded

    To remove an individual from an Online Form, the Online Form will need to be deactivated temporarily. Once you deactivate you can click the Activate button again and then the Selection Parameters screen will come up where you will be able to make changes to remove the individual from the Online Form. You can do this even if the employee has already completed the Online Form.

    Note: This will only work if you make your employee selection by individual employee.

    Thank you!
