# Currency rate types (CM201000)

Last modified February 19, 2026

> In this window, you can view and configure rate types.


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

In this window, you can view and configure rate types. Using rate types is convenient when, for example, different
rates for the same currency pair should be used in transactions with different
suppliers or customers. Also, you can create separate rate types for revaluation and translation purposes when
different exchange rates should be used.
For a rate type, you specify its
settings, which will be applied to the exchange rates of the currency pairs to which
the type is assigned.

## The table

Here you can create rate types or view the existing list of rate types.
Any rate types that
have been used to record transactions cannot be deleted.
