In Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT, query functionality is currently limited by module-specific structures and inconsistent access to unposted transactions. This prevents users from generating a single, complete view of financial activity across the system.

Today, users must run multiple queries (GL, AP, Procurement, Projects) and manually reconcile results to understand total activity. This creates:

• Inefficiencies and reliance on external tools (Excel)

• Increased risk of incomplete or inconsistent reporting

• Limited visibility into valid, approved, but unposted transactions (e.g., POs, invoices)

Proposed Enhancement:

• Enable one unified query across all modules

• Add a parameter: “Include Unposted Activity: Yes/No”

• Clearly flag transaction status (Posted vs. Unposted)

Impact:

• Provides a complete, real-time view of financial activity and commitments

• Reduces manual workarounds and reconciliation effort

• Improves data transparency and audit readiness

• Aligns Financial Edge with modern ERP reporting capabilities

This is a foundational improvement that would significantly enhance usability, reporting accuracy, and operational efficiency across all organizations using multiple modules.

Very disappointed to see these comments 3-4 years ago and nothing has been resolved yet. We are transitioning to NXT and, having used FE before, was excited about reports including not yet posted. My former colleague told me they still utilize this (obviously an older sw version) so I suggest the engineers go back and figure out how it was done. And fix it!

Agree it would be very helpful. Maybe a hybrid approach and include both or some indicator that it is unposted.

Guess you guys better get cracking then, since the way it is is vertuealy useless

The way that Journal references are created is during the post process, This would require major structural engineering work at this time.
