NOTE: Please note that the data will be migrated as recorded in Accounting Start.

Once upgraded, those transactions will remain in the bank activity list and will not show in the purchase tab.
Irreversible  CAUTION: Once your account migrated, it is not possible to switch back from Accounting to Start.
