    We hear and understand the value of this request. We appreciate everyone voting and commenting on this request. We did not take this request lightly; we’ve reviewed it and conducted a thorough analysis of the project with our development team. Currently, it’s not something on the roadmap for development.

    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:

    Access this same information through Employee Time Off Tracker. With the tracker, you can select employees and the time off codes you want to see. Then on the browse, you can use the filter to see employees with specific amounts. You are able to get the data you need through this method and still use task manager to notify employees.

    Thank you!

    We’d like to thank everyone who voted on this idea and took the time to either respond to requests for feedback or took the time for conversations over the phone.

    We’ve been researching this request and after many conversations decided not to pursue this enhancement. We would love to deliver a quick add option to AP Invoice and fully understand the benefits from the user’s perspective. However, the complexities involved with the various account allocation options significantly complicates our ability to provide a one-size-fits-all approach.

    Please continue to review the Ideas Portal, cast your votes, and add comments to ideas you support. We will continue to review and research them.

    Thank you for submitting this idea.

    Best Practice recommendation is to enter one cash receipt per batch number when you do cash receipt entry. In addition, go to PaC, System Admin, Fin Mgmt, Install Info, System Options, and make sure the flag for “Budgetary Accounting Update Summarize By Batch” is set to Yes. This will ensure each cash receipt is listed separately in the Cash Receipts area of the bank rec, which will make reconciling much easier.

    If you do not want to enter one cash receipt per batch number, you can use the Receipt Number field on the cash receipt entry screen instead. If you have the software assign a Receipt Number to each deposit, you can create a Cash Receipts report (Financial Management, Account Management, Account Mgmt Reporting, General Inputs History), sorted and totaled by Receipt Number. This report should make reconciling cash receipts easy. (We still recommend…

    Thank you for submitting and voting on this Idea. We’ve spent some time here at Skyward doing research for this request and have determined after a thorough analysis that we will not be pursing this development.

    We discovered, that if we add multiple buildings to the employee profile, this change would create large ramifications. Building is found in many places throughout the system and the effort, impact and risk to update is not something we will be able to address at this time.

    We recommend using Employee Management Data Mining to report on Employees and all their Assigned Buildings.

    In Data Mining use Assignment as the Driver Table, In Field Areas select Position, and under Position select Position Building Code, Position Building state, and Position Building Desc. To report on all buildings associated with an Employee.

    Thank you!

    Thank you for submitting and voting on this idea. Upon further technical review, it has been decided we will not be moving forward with this request at this time due to the differences in expected functionality and the complexity of solving for all possible scenarios.
