User transaction activities are the transactions or tasks that users perform on an SAP client. These activities are based on SAP transaction codes (t-codes), which are the shortcuts that enable you to identify and perform these transactions or tasks. When you run scheduled jobs for SAP, the Software Asset Management application retrieves the SAP transaction codes that were actively used by your SAP users. When you create a reclamation rule for an SAP named user type, you can specify the transaction codes and the minimum number of those transaction codes that must be active for a user to keep their assigned named user license. During reconciliation, the Software Asset Management application compares these transaction codes against the discovered user transaction codes for the named user type. You can view the resulting data in the Users for Transaction Based License Optimization report on the Software Publisher Analytics dashboard for SAP. Use this information to optimize your named user license position by downgrading licenses or reclaiming unused licenses. See [Software Publisher Analytics dashboard for SAP in Software Asset Management classic](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/TL3eUtpBBCCJ2tlvAo3eWg "View your license compliance position for SAP on the Software Publisher Analytics dashboard in the Software Asset Management classic application.") for more information on this report. * **[View active transaction codes for your SAP users](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/KoKKRl84PEOj6pyzFeyGTQ)** View the SAP transaction codes (t-codes) that were actively used by your SAP users. This list is compared against your reclamation rules to determine whether the user is assigned an optimized license. **Related concepts** * [SAP USMM-based optimization](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/eTQrdxoAkol28ydCJES9CA "Optimize licensing through SAP User License Measurement (USMM) rules that map roles to the Named User Type for an SAP client.") * [Self-declaring SAP engine license usage](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/zgy3fZNA3aM2c4Stwc7nnA "You can self-declare the license usage for any SAP engines that cannot be measured by the automated SAP engine measurement process.
