Action Plan Templates in Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud serve as reusable frameworks for standardizing visit tasks. A key feature is the ability to include multiple tasks of the same type within a single template. This allows a field representative to perform several distinct checks during one visit, such as checking the inventory levels for different product categories, verifying compliance for multiple planograms, or assessing the execution of various ongoing promotions. Each of these checks can be configured as a separate "Assessment Task" and added to the template, ensuring all required activities are completed.

A. Action plan templates can have multiple orders and delivery tasks: A standard visit workflow is typically designed around a single, consolidated order task and a single delivery check. While customizable, the out-of-the-box design does not focus on multiple discrete order tasks within one template.

C. Action plan templates are ready to use after saving: Action Plan Templates must be explicitly activated after being saved. This is a standard Salesforce safety feature that prevents incomplete or in-development templates from being assigned to users and used for visits.

D. Action plan templates are not extensible through Apex: This is incorrect. Action Plan Templates are built on standard Salesforce objects (e.g., ActionPlanTemplate, ActionPlanTemplateItem) that are fully accessible and extensible via Apex, SOQL, and the API, allowing for custom logic and automation.

1. Salesforce Help, Consumer Goods Cloud, "Create Action Plan Templates for Visits": This document outlines the process of creating a template. It explicitly states, "To make the template available for users, click Activate." This directly refutes option C. It also implicitly supports option B by describing the addition of a "list of common tasks" without specifying a limit of one per type.

2. Salesforce Help, Consumer Goods Cloud, "Set Up Assessment Task Definitions for Action Plan Templates": This guide details how to create the underlying definitions for tasks like inventory and planogram checks. It shows that you can create multiple, distinct definitions (e.g., "Inventory Check for Snacks," "Inventory Check for Beverages") which can then all be added to a single Action Plan Template. This directly supports the correctness of option B.

3. Salesforce Object Reference Guide, "ActionPlanTemplate": This developer documentation confirms that ActionPlanTemplate is a standard Salesforce object. As such, it supports DML operations, SOQL queries, and can be used in Apex triggers and classes, which invalidates the claim in option D.
