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](/visma-net-erp/help/currency-management/manage-currency-rates/about-currency-rate-entry/). ## The General settings area This area covers all the settings pertinent to the Currency management workspace, organised into multiple sections. ### The Setup and numbering settings section
