Currency management preferences (CM101000)

This topic gives you information about the elements that you find in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

You use this window to define the allowed rate variance used during data entry.
Also, you can specify default rate types to be used for transactions in the Supplier ledger, Customer ledger, and Cash management workspaces and rounding gain and loss accounts for the base currency.
For translations, you can assign the number series, the default translation, and the number of periods for which the system will keep the records.
For more information on using multiple currencies, see: About currency rate entry.
