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.

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.
