  Key Concepts: 
  A load plan is a document used in SAP Transportation Management (TM) to define the loading of goods onto a vehicle. It is used to optimize the loading process and ensure that the goods are loaded in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The load plan contains information such as the type of vehicle, the number of packages, the weight of each package, and the order in which they should be loaded.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP TM, a load plan can be created by entering the necessary information into the system. This includes the type of vehicle, the number of packages, and the weight of each package. Once this information is entered, the system will generate a load plan that can be used to optimize the loading process. The load plan can then be printed out and used as a reference when loading goods onto a vehicle.
  
  Tips & Tricks:
