Sometimes a transaction pulled in by the integration should not be imported into the accounting register. You have the option to Hide these items.

Reasons to Hide a Transaction:

1. Donations/Contributions: If the imported income is a donation, you must hide it from the Bank Integration screen. Transactions imported here only populate the accounting registers. To ensure proper donor tracking and to generate Contribution Statements, you must manually record the donation in the Donations area of Aplos.
2. Accounts Payable (AP) or Accounts Receivable (AR): If a transaction is related to a bill you've already entered in Accounts Payable or an invoice you've entered in Accounts Receivable, you should hide the bank entry. This is because you cannot link the imported bank transaction to an existing payable or receivable item; the payment/receipt must be processed directly through the AP/AR module.

Retrieving Hidden Transactions:

If you accidentally hide a transaction, you can easily retrieve it:

1. Click the Search Transactions button.
2. Check the Hidden box.
3. Click Search to display all previously hidden transactions.
   
4. You can then select and unhide the necessary item.
5. Click Reset to return to your main screen for importing transactions.
