# Bulk exclude transactions

PATCH `/partners/transactions/exclude-bulk`

Excludes or un-excludes transactions by UUID list or postedDate range.

Pass either `{ transactionUuids, excluded }` or `{ startDate, endDate, excluded }` — not both. Date-range mode rejects with 400 if more than 100 transactions match. Excluding hides a row from the ledger without deleting it. Same per-row eligibility guards as single-row exclude (unreviewed, unreconciled, not pending, not attached).

HMAC signature + Bearer access token
