# Record the usage on the entitlement

Record the consumption or usages made out of the total characteristic quantities allotted for an entitlement.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_customerservice\_manager, sn\_customerservice\_agent and sn\_customerservice.consumer\_agent

## About this task

When an entitlement moves to the Active state, usage records are created. You can update the usage records on the basis of units or quantities used as and when the customer uses the services. For example, if a characteristic includes 50 visits to the customer, then the Total units field displays 50 and the Used units field is updated after each visit. Managers can create and update usage records for an entitlement but agents can only update the Used units field.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to the ServiceNow AI Platform interface or the CRM Workspace.
