You use this program to maintain revaluation categories. The revaluation category defines the revaluation method applicable to each alternate currency in use and the gains/loss ledger account to use for variances arising from the revaluation process.
Revaluation categories enable you to revalue any of the alternate currency ledgers based on a category that is optionally assigned to ledger accounts.

| Category | Indicate the code for the revaluation category you want to add or maintain. |
