Transfer prices for Profit Center

Question

Hello Gurus,
SAP describes the following regarding transfer prices
"In order to use transfer prices in the R/3 System, you need to store multiple valuation approaches in parallel throughout the accounting application components"
Does it mean if transfer price are set for valuation of internal goods movement between profit center, multiple valuation should be activated in other areas like FI (through currency and valuation profile), CO and MM (through Material ledger)
Any prerequisites to be done in FI and CO for this activation for transfer prices, not getting the right approach between multiple valuation and transfer prices
Any help is appreciated!!!
thanka

SAP provides mechanism to capture various prices involved in transfering goods to another intercompany or on behalf of intercompany.  They are
Legal price (recorded in the company code and reflected in financial statement report to the country tax authorities)
Profit Center price (This price is agreed upon between the profit center managers) and
Group Price (The bare price, with no profit element, The group profit readily provides the profit made by the group, in the company that sells the goods to the final customer).
Once activated, the transfer price cannot be reversed within SAP. Also the Material ledger need to be activated with transaction based price determination to capture PC and Group prices.
To your question, "Does it mean if transfer price are set for valuation of internal goods movement between profit center, multiple valuation should be activated in other areas like FI (through currency and valuation profile), CO and MM (through Material ledger)"
the answer is yes.
