  Causes:
  
  Missing Data: The template component table may not have been populated with the necessary data. This can happen if the relevant master data (like product master, location, or planning data) has not been maintained correctly.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the planning area or planning object structure that leads to the template component table being empty.
  Transport Issues: If the system has recently undergone a transport of configuration or master data, it is possible that the transport did not include the necessary data.
