Introduce report names in the accounting zip file

🔍 Problem Statement

As a finance or accounting user, I experience difficulty identifying accounting report files downloaded from Pelcro because the ZIP contents use long, timestamp-based filenames without report context, which results in confusion, extra manual work, and higher risk of using the wrong report for reconciliation or audits.

💡 User Story

As a finance or accounting user, I want accounting report files to have clear, human-readable names or allow me to request a specific report type, so that I can quickly identify, organize, and reconcile reports without manual renaming or guesswork.

🎯 Definition of Done (DoD)

Approach 1: Human-Readable File Naming

✔ Given an accounting report ZIP download,

When the ZIP is generated,

Then each file name includes the report type (e.g. recognized_revenue, deferred_revenue) along with the date range and timestamp.

✔ Impact:

  1. Accounting Export Service – ZIP generation logic

  2. File Naming Convention for accounting reports

✔ Limitations:

  1. Does not allow requesting a single report type; all generated reports are still included

  2. Existing integrations relying on current file names may need adjustment
