When the [Procurement](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_Procurement&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-it-service-management&ft:locale=en-US) application (com.snc.procurement) is active, you can also create and view purchase orders directly from the Remediation Options form. More remediation options include automatically create and remove allocations, remove unallocated installs, and remove unlicensed installs. For example, if the status of a product result shows that it isn't compliant, you can drill down on the product result to view software model details. These details can include the number of unlicensed installs and the true-up cost to become compliant. Further, you can drill down on the software model result to view the license metric result, which is based on the entitlements for the product. License metric result information includes rights owned and rights used as well as the license allocation breakdown so you can determine your options to become compliant. The Remediation Options related list shows the number of rights needed and calculates the cost of those rights for you, based on the license metric. You can use the dashboard field action (![DashboardFieldAction]()) icon on the Software Model Results form to view the Rights Owned vs Rights Used chart to forecast when additional licenses are needed. ## Procedure 1. Navigate to AllSoftware AssetReconciliationHistorical Results and select a reconciliation result. 2. On the Reconciliation Result form, select a Product Results record to view the product result details. 3. In the Software Model Results related list, open a record to view the software model result details. {#t_ViewSWModelResults__table_bnb_zqv_pz__entry__2}{#t_ViewSWModelResults__LicenseMetricResults} | Field | Description | |-|-| | Software model | Software model associated with the product.

Note: Allocated not in use reflects rights that are wasted because the user or device for which these rights have been allocated don't have the software installed. When this value is greater than 0, a Remove Allocations remediation option is automatically created for each unique license metric in the software model that meets this requirement. | | Nontransferable rights | Remaining rights from a core pack that can't be used to license any additional devices. Nontransferable rights are available only for Microsoft Per Core and Microsoft Per Core with (CAL). | | Not allocated | Number of rights that haven't been allocated (rights owned minus allocated regardless of whether installed or not). | | Allocations needed | Number of allocations needed for compliance.

Software Model Results form] {#t_ViewSWModelResults__table_bnb_zqv_pz} The Licensed Installs related list contains the [software installations](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/joc6vHw~6xhHBzwNxTwZAQ "Software discovery models are automatically created during discovery to identify and normalize the software installed in your environment.") that are licensed. To view more information about a licensed software installation, open the corresponding Software Installation record by selecting the Display name. Refer to [Software installation fields](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/IuFu7WtUjVe4xjLvvDqDXA "Software Installation form and related list field descriptions.") for detailed descriptions of each field in the Software Installation record. The Unlicensed Installs related list contains the [software installations](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/joc6vHw~6xhHBzwNxTwZAQ "Software discovery models are automatically created during discovery to identify and normalize the software installed in your environment.") that are unlicensed. To view more information about an unlicensed software installation, open the corresponding Software Installation record by selecting the Display name. Refer to [Software installation fields](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/IuFu7WtUjVe4xjLvvDqDXA "Software Installation form and related list field descriptions.") for detailed descriptions of each field in the Software Installation record.

Get comprehensive visibility into your SAP license compliance and uncover potential savings.") that are unlicensed. Note: This related list is shown only for the SAP publisher. The Removal Candidates related list contains removal candidates related to software installations. For more information, see [Removal candidates](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Zs6wWQtetTkNvLh8aaakqA "Removal candidates reclaim software resources in your environment. They are created from reclamation rules, or can be created manually."). 4. Execute remediation options for specific remediation actions by selecting an option from the Remediation Options related list and then selecting the applicable action. {#t_ViewSWModelResults__table_hyf_fmh_2bb__entry__3} | Remediation option action | Action button | Result | |-|-|-| | Remove Unlicensed Installs | Create All Removal Candidates | When removal candidates are created for unlicensed installs, the status is set to Awaiting Revocation. | | Remove Unallocated Installs | Create All Removal Candidates | When removal candidates are created for unallocated installs, the status is set to Ready. | | Remove Allocations | Remove All Allocations | When allocations are removed, the number of allocations is adjusted. When you select this button, a message is displayed on the screen indicating that the action is in progress. | | Create Allocations | Create All Allocations | When allocations are created, the status of Remove Unallocated Installs remediation options (for the same license metric of the same software model result) are then set to Void. When you select this button, a message is displayed on the screen indicating that the action is in progress. | | Purchase Rights | Create Purchase Order Note: The Create Purchase Order button creates a [purchase order](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_CreateAPurchaseOrderLineItem&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-it-service-management&ft:locale=en-US) but is only shown when rights needed is greater than 0, and Procurement is active. The Create Purchase Order button remains active until the purchase order has finished processing. Therefore, to avoid the creating a duplicate purchase order for the same item, wait to run reconciliation again until after the purchase order has finished processing. | When a purchase order is created, the status of any Purchase Rights remediation options for the same software model result are then set to Void. Purchase order fields Part number, Metric group, License metric, and Ordered quantity are automatically populated with the content from the remediation option. Metric group and License metric fields are added to the purchase order form so the entitlement can be automatically created when the order is complete. A notification is shown if at least one active purchase order line item exists for the software model. Once a purchase order is created, the Purchase order field, containing the purchase order reference, is added to the remediation option. | [Table 2. Remediation option action buttons] {#t_ViewSWModelResults__table_hyf_fmh_2bb} A confirmation message is shown and all applicable [removal candidates](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Zs6wWQtetTkNvLh8aaakqA "Removal candidates reclaim software resources in your environment. They are created from reclamation rules, or can be created manually.") are added to the Removal Candidates related list. *[\>]: and then
