# Finding a Ledger

You can locate a ledger by entering the segment codes or names separated by the delimiting character. Any combination of codes or names is acceptable as long as each segment is in its proper position relevant to the delimiters. For example to retrieve the ledger 2-20-1110 which represents North branch, Sales division , Bank Account 12356789 any of the following would be acceptable:

`2-20-1110`

`2201110`

`North-Sales-1110`

`Nor-Sal-1110`

`north-20-1110`

`2-20-Bank Account 123456789`

The reason all of these variations will work is because of Acumen's search criteria. Acumen searches for each segment by code first, and failing to match this code exactly it will search by name. If the text entered for that segment matches the first part of the segment name (regardless of case) then it is assumed to be a match. Acumen detects a segment by looking for the delimiter character (- \[dash] in our example). If no delimiter is found then it simply takes the specified number of characters required for each segment from the text.&#x20;

&#x20;Typically when Acumen succeeds with a search it will replace the name portions of the code with their code equivalents and the names are shown in full in a text display elsewhere on the screen.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guide.acumensystems.com.au/system-parts/general-ledger/ledgers/finding-a-ledger.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
