  Review the active transfer pricing settings and determine if they are necessary for your current operations.

  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make these changes.
  
  
  
  Review Migration Documentation:
  
  Consult the SAP migration documentation for the specific release you are migrating to. This documentation often contains important information about prerequisites and steps to take before migration.
