Add support for displaying the GL transaction number on the Aged Accounts Payable report

Please add the ability to display the General Ledger (GL) transaction number on the Aged Accounts Payable report. Currently, the report’s “transaction number” field displays the AP invoice number rather than the GL transaction ID created when the invoice posts to the Accounts Payable liability account. This creates an unnecessary reconciliation challenge, as there is no shared unique identifier between the AP aging report and GL detail reports. As a result, reconciling AP to the GL requires manual matching by vendor, date, and amount, or inefficient Excel workarounds that cannot rely on a true transaction key. Including the GL transaction number on the Aged AP report would significantly improve reconciliation efficiency, enable direct VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP matching between AP and GL reports, enhance audit traceability, and reduce the risk of error during month‑end close and audit preparation. This enhancement would provide meaningful time savings and align Blackbaud reporting with standard accounting reconciliation practices, especially for organizations with higher invoice volume.
