    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.

    Try this Instead  ·  Jacob Baumann responded

    Great suggestion! One way that transcript sent information can be visible in Family and Student Access is to use Data Mining and the Report Directory. This will even work for any information you can put together in a Data Mining report!

    Within Data Mining, after you’ve created the report, you can select which entities you’d want this to be available for Family Access Display tab. You will then need to turn on the Report Directory within the Family Access Entity Configuration (WS\FA\FM\PS\CF\EC) and enable for Student and/or Family Access.

    Once setup, your students or guardians can login and navigate to the Portfolio tab and they will be able to run these reports. The benefit to this is that when the report generates, only results for the appropriate student will display.

    If there are any questions or assistance needed on this setup, our Customer Consulting Specialists would be a great help.…
