Bank reconciliations - display report when reconcile is selected
It would be helpful to have the Bank Rec report pop up immediately upon reconciliation, rather than have to go back into the history report to print. I have never seen a system that did not do that. Also, we should be able to print a rec for a month in which there was no activity, to still show proper balances for current months.

- (02-13-2025) Bank Reconcile - Settings: Add a new setting "Enable Bank Reconcile Approval". Enabling this setting will add a new column to the Bank Reconcile list of accounts titled Approved By. This will allow a user (with display and list permissions to Bank Reconcile) the option to approve the reconciliation. The user that approves the bank reconciliation must be different from the user that reconciled the account. If the account is unreconciled, the approval will be removed. Two additional columns, reconciled by and approved by, were added to the bank reconcile page. These columns will be populated by the user that reconciled and approved the reconciliation from this point forward. Historical reconciliations will display Foundant Technologies in the Reconciled By column.
- Bank Reconcile - Log: Add the actions for reconcile, approve, and unreconcile to the logs.
- Bank Reconcile - Notes and Files: Add a left-side menu option to add a note or file to a bank reconciliation. Notes and files will remain connected to the reconciliation if the account is unreconciled. If the reconciliation is cancelled, notes and files will be orphaned. This will require the user to add them again to the new reconciliation.
- Bank Reconcile: Add a column to the Bank Reconcile List titled Status. The status will be "start" or "continue" depending on the status of the last reconciliation for that account. Add Filters at the top of a reconciliation to filter the list to debits, credits, credits (checks), credits (electronic) for easier reconciliation. Shift Click will work in this table to clear transactions from the list. Updated the the top box of the reconciliation to display Bank Balance, total unreconciled, then book balance. Unreconciled transactions will have a total. Add a confirmation step when cancelling a reconciliation.
- Closed accounts will display at the bottom of the Reconcile Bank Account List.

It would be nice for bank reconciliation report to populate after clicking the reconcile button. Currently after I click on "reconcile", I am redirected back to the bank reconciliation list. I then need to click on 'history report, then click on the date, then click print page, then click in my browser settings to print and/or save to PDF, and then finally the last click to actually print. If someone knows a better way to avoid all these extra steps and clicks, please let me know. It would be ok if we only had a few accounts but we have several.
