• Key Concepts: 
  SAP Transportation Resource Planning (TM-TRP) is a component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) suite. It enables companies to plan and optimize their transportation resources in order to reduce costs and improve efficiency. A virtual plan is a type of plan created in TM-TRP that allows users to simulate different scenarios and analyze the results before committing to a particular course of action. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a virtual plan, users must first define the parameters of the plan, such as the origin and destination, the type of transportation, and the desired timeline. Once these parameters are set, users can then simulate different scenarios by changing the parameters and analyzing the results. This allows users to compare different options and determine which one is most cost-effective and efficient. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a virtual plan, it is important to consider all possible scenarios and analyze the results carefully. It is also important to consider external factors such as weather, traffic, and fuel prices that may affect the cost or efficiency of a particular plan.
