# Revalue customer accounts (CM505000)

Last modified February 19, 2026

> You use this window to revalue Customer ledger accounts maintained in a foreign currency.


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

You use this window to revalue Customer ledger accounts maintained in a foreign
currency.
Select a foreign currency to display all
customer accounts maintained in this currency, and
then select the accounts and provide a description
for the Customer ledger revaluation.

You can revalue the Customer ledger accounts at the end of each period as often as needed to accurately reflect your cash position.

The accounts used for the gain/loss and Customer ledger accounts are set for each currency in the [Currencies (CM202000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/currency-management/currency-management-windows/currencies-cm202000/index.md) window.
