# General Ledger

Transaction-level general ledger detail, including all transaction types and journal entries, mapped to your Drivepoint categories.

### Use it to:

* Drill into specific GL transactions behind a financial statement line
* Review journal entries posted during a period
* See all transaction types (invoices, bills, payments, journal entries) in one unified view
* Trace how each transaction maps to your Drivepoint SmartModel categories

### GL transaction metrics

{% hint style="info" %}
**GL transactions combine all sources.** The general ledger view joins transaction data with your Drivepoint account mapping, so you can filter by SmartModel category across all transaction types. This is useful for reconciling the mapped view back to individual source records.

## 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://docs.drivepoint.io/data-integrations/financials-datamart/general-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.
