Instead of activating transfer prices manually in IDES, you can run a CATT, which will make the settings automatically for you.

CATTs (Computer Aided Test Tool) can test either individual transactions or entire processes in the R/3 system. They are created from test modules. Creation of test modules is simplified by a recording function. The individual test modules in a process are then linked together by referencing.

In the process described here, the CATT ZIDES_ECPCA_INSTALL is used to activate transfer prices and transfer pricing settings in Asset Management in your IDES system. The CATT also performs cost estimates in order to find standard prices for the materials used in the transfer pricing processes. It performs these cost estimates in all three views (legal, group, profit center).

Make sure that the material master records are not locked and that no user-specific parameters have been set for company codes.
