Excluding & Deleting Transactions

How to exclude and delete transactions in Ambrook

Written by Dan Schlosser

The option you'll see depends on where the transaction came from.

  • Transactions from a bank connection or import can be excluded. You can exclude a transaction due to a bank error, because it will be included in a journal entry, or to fix an accidental transaction.

  • Manual transactions can be deleted. Deleting permanently removes the transaction from Ambrook and can't be undone.

How to exclude or delete a transaction

On Web:

  1. Go to your Ledger

  2. Click the three dots next to the transaction

  3. Click Delete or Exclude

  4. If excluding, select a reason

On Mobile App:

How to undo an exclusion

Excluded transactions are hidden by default. You'll need to filter for them to undo them.

On Web:

  1. Go to your Ledger

  2. Open Filter β†’ Status β†’ Excluded Only

  3. Click the three dots next to the transaction

  4. Click Undo exclusion

On Mobile App:

  1. Go to your Ledger

  2. Open Filter β†’ Status β†’ Excluded Only

  3. Tap the transaction

  4. Scroll to the bottom

  5. Tap Undo exclusion


You cannot exclude transactions that:

  • Have multiple line items. To exclude these transactions, remove the line items to exclude the whole transaction.

  • Any payments on invoices. Instead, unmatch these payments by clicking on the three dots on the right of the transaction and selecting "unmatch."

  • Any transaction tagged with a transfer. First untag the transaction, then exclude.

  • Manually recorded transactions. Instead, delete the transaction.

  • Internal transfers. Instead, delete the internal transfer.

  • Journal entries, which can be edited or deleted directly.

If you want to exclude a large number of transactions due to an issue with your bank account connections, please reach out to our support team at support@ambrook.com, and we can apply an account merge for you.
