> You use the Currency rates (CM301000) window to add a currency rate in Visma Net.


For more information: [Currency rates (CM301000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/currency-management/currency-management-windows/currency-rates-cm301000/index.md).

## Before you proceed

Before adding a currency rate, make sure of the following:

+ The required currencies have been configured in the [Currencies (CM202000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/currency-management/currency-management-windows/currencies-cm202000/index.md) window.
+ An appropriate rate type to be assigned to the currency rate has been created in the [Currency rates (CM301000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/currency-management/currency-management-windows/currency-rates-cm301000/index.md) window.

1. Go to the [Currency rates (CM301000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/currency-management/currency-management-windows/currency-rates-cm301000/index.md) window.
1. In the top part, in the **To currency** field, select the currency (by its ID) with respect to which the currency rate will be added.
1. In the **Effective date** field, specify the date when the exchange rate becomes effective.
1. On the **Currency rate entry** tab, on the table toolbar, click ![icon-add](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/media/visma-net-erp/icon-add.png).
1. In the **From currency** field, select the currency (by its ID) whose exchange rate will be shown with respect to the **To currency**.
1. In the **Currency rate type** field, select the rate type to which the currency rate being created will be assigned.
1. In the **Currency effective date** field, specify the date when this currency rate becomes effective. By default, the current business date is specified.
1. In the **Currency rate** field, specify the rate value.
1. Define whether the entered rate should be multiplied or divided in the field **Mult/Div**. The **rate reciprocal** will now be automatically calculated and shown in the respective field.
1. Click ![icon-save](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/media/visma-net-erp/icon-save.png).

The currency rate is now added to the system and it is ready to use.
