## Before you begin

Make sure you have:

- [COS Explorer credentials](docId\:JwSEUG3ELF_gXLhy6T9KI) 
- If you have the subledger account number, that is all you need
- If you do not have the account number, have some identifying information about the account such as:
  - Your partner name in COS
  - COS account product name
  - Master account number
  - Title on the subledger

## Process overview

Once a subledger is created, you can use COS Explorer filters to search for a specific subledger account. Once you've found the subledger, you can view information about it, and see data about account activity.

To find a card token go to **Deposit Sub Ledgers **under **Core**.

:::WorkflowBlockItem
If you have the subledger account number, enter it in the **Navigate by ID ...** field in the filter pane on the right and click the arrow. If the account number is correct, the **Account Details** screen for that account appears.

:::WorkflowBlockItem
If you don't have the account number, add information in any other fields that will help you find the payment.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Change the date in the **From** field to some date before the account was created.
:::

::::WorkflowBlockItem
At the very bottom of the filter pane, click **Apply**. The results appear.

:::hint{type="info"}
If you get no results, verify the date span is big enough to include the payment you are looking for.

If you still get no results, verify that the other information is correct.

:::WorkflowBlockItem
If you searched on other values and not the account number, you'll have to look at all the accounts returned by the search to identify the one you want. Use more details in the filter to refine your search.
