  A template plan is a feature of the SAP Transportation Resource Planning (TM-TRP) component that allows users to create a plan for transportation resources that can be reused for similar scenarios. The template plan can be used to quickly create a plan for a specific transportation scenario, such as a shipment from one location to another. The template plan can also be used to create plans for multiple shipments, such as a series of shipments from one location to multiple destinations.

This involves specifying the transportation resources that will be used in the plan, such as trucks, drivers, and routes. Once the template plan is created, it can be used to quickly create plans for specific scenarios. For example, if a user needs to create a plan for a shipment from one location to another, they can select the template plan and enter the details of the shipment. The TM-TRP component will then generate a plan based on the template plan.
