# Currency rates (CM301000)

Last modified February 19, 2026

> In this window, you can maintain and view rates that were effective on a specific date and enter new effective rates for multiple currencies.


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 maintain and view rates that were effective on a specific date and enter new
effective rates for multiple currencies.

The rates defined with respect to currencies other than the base currency are used for translations only.

## The top part

In the top part, you can select a currency and a date to view the exchange rates of other currencies on that date with respect to the selected currency, and enter new rates.

<table class="vismanet-table">
  <colgroup>
    <col class="vismanet-table__col--key">
    <col>
  </colgroup>
<thead class="vismanet-table__head">
  <tr class="vismanet-table__header-row">
<th class="vismanet-table__cell vismanet-table__cell--header">Element</th>
<th class="vismanet-table__cell vismanet-table__cell--header">Description</th>
</tr>

<tr class="vismanet-table__row">
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">To currency</td>
<td class="vismanet-table__cell"><p>The currency (listed by its ID) that the exchange rates of other currencies are listed with respect to in the <strong>Rate details</strong> table (in the <strong>Currency rate entry</strong> tab).</p>
<p>By default, this currency is the base currency. You can add currencies in the <a href="/visma-net-erp/help/currency-management/currency-management-windows/currencies-cm202000/index.md">Currencies (CM202000)</a> window.</p>
</td>
</tr>

<tr class="vismanet-table__row">
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Effective date</td>
<td class="vismanet-table__cell"><p>The particular date for which you can view the exchange rates
(with respect to the selected currency).
Also, this is the
effective date for any new rates you enter.</p>
<p>The value that you specify in this field is used differently on the <strong>Currency rate entry</strong> and <strong>Effective currency rates</strong> tabs in this window.</p>
<ul>
<li>On the <strong>Currency rate entry</strong> tab, this value works as the default date, which the system inserts in the <strong>Currency effective date</strong> field when you add a row and enter rate details in the table.</li>
<li>On the <strong>Effective currency rates</strong> tab, the system displays the list of currency pairs with the rates that are effective on the specified date.</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>

</table>


## The Currency rate entry tab

The table on this tab lists the effective exchange rates on the selected date (if
any).
On this tab, you can enter an exchange rate for a required currency pair.

the number of currency units per one unit of the other
currency.</p>
