# Transactional Reconciliation in User-Initiated Sends

Transactional Reconciliation helps you track the final delivery status of each transactional email sent through a user-initiated send. When enabled, Marketing Cloud Engagement monitors messages and assigns a final disposition (Sent or Not Sent) based on delivery signals during the expiration window.

To use Transactional Reconciliation, your send must reference a data extension created from the `Sendable_Reconcilable_Data_Extension` template. This template includes the reconciliation fields needed for message tracking.

For more information see, [How Transactional Reconciliation Works](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mc_es_configure_transactional_reconciliation_email.htm&type=5&language=en_US) and [Create a Sendable Data Extension for Transactional Reconciliation.](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mc_es_create_sendable_data_extension_transactional_reconciliation.htm&type=5&language=en_US)

Note You can use Transactional Reconciliation only for transactional sends, and not for commercial or promotional email classifications.

1. In Email Studio, go to **Interactions** > **User-Initiated Emails**.
2. Open an existing send or create one.
3. On the **Properties** page, under **Send Management**, make sure that **Send Classification** is Transactional.
4. Under **Recipients**, click **Edit Recipients**, add the sendable reconcilable data extension you created to the **Targeted** list, and save the changes.
5. You can now see the **Transactional Reconciliation** section in your **Properties** page.
6. Select the **Reconcilable** checkbox.
7. Specify the **Reconciliation Expiration Time** in hours and save your changes.
8. Before you send your email, you can use the **Test Send** to review the reconciliation settings. You can find the reconciliation settings under **Send Properties**.
