Controlling segment of FI document not updated through FIDCCP02

Question

hello..
We are using FIDCCP02 basic type for posting FI document from a third party system via XI.
IDOC gets succesfully posted and generates FI document as well (visible in FB03)..it is also showing cost center details in the FI line item as per requirement..
BUT the problem is, while posting the document thru IDOC..<b>it is not updating the controlling document for that Cost Center</b>...though it gets updated when we manually create the FI document.
we checked out the note 114814 , it says that FIDCCP02 does not update controlling component...so use some other IDOC type !!!
now the question is...which basic type / Function module should we use for posting CO details for the FI document ??? and moreover how to incorporate this functionality with the process code i have already developed ( working absolutely fine as far as FI document is concerned )..
please reply to this as soon as possible..
regards
nidhi

<b>Cost Center Accounting</b>
In this activity, you make settings required for distribution in Cost Center Accounting.
There is a difference between settings for distribution method one (centralized Cost Center Accounting), and those for method two (decentralized Cost Center Accounting).
Consistency Check
The function in this section carries out a consistency check of the settings made here. We recommend you use this consistency check to make the relevant settings.
Execute the function in the decentralized systems. Then you can check whether the settings between the systems for the required message types have been correctly maintained.
Double-click on a line in the consistency check log to make the required settings.
You must have maintained the partner profiles in all the systems.
Notes on Overhead Cost Controlling
You make Overhead Cost Controlling settings in Customizing, under Controlling.
The following settings are required to distribute a controlling area:
The distribution method must be defined in the controlling area for the basic data in the "Distribution method" field. You can choose between distribution method one or two.
The logical system name of the central controlling system must be defined in the controlling area for the basic data in the "Logical system" field. The logical system name is defined in the installation and in the client settings. (In IMG under:
Basis Components
  Distribution (ALE)
   Sending and Receiving Systems
      Logical Systems
        Assign Logical System to a Client
If you use distribution method two, you also assign all cost centers to a master system, which is the logical system for the cost center.
If you want to use the profit center accounting, read section Distribution scenarios -> Profit Center Accounting
If you want to use profitablitity analysis, read section Distribution scenarios ->  Profitablitity Analysis.
Synchronization of settings using the transport system
Some settings for overhead cost controlling need to be in all systems in the same form.
The easiest way to ensure this, is by doing your customizing in a centralized system, and then distributing the data to all systems affected.
The transport system is normally used for the first time that decentralized controlling is provided with customizing data.
For information on compiling the transport orders for decentralized controlling systems, see the Implementation Guide (IMG), under the section on Controlling -> General Controlling -> Productive Start Preparation -> Transport System Settings.
Individual setting synchronization
If you do not make the settings for overhead cost controlling centrally in a Customizing system, but individually in each of the affected systems, then ensure  that they all contain the following data in the same form:
Data for all controlling areas:
Currencies
Charts of accounts
Attributes for the controlling area: Basic data
Distribution method
Logical system
Currency type
Currency
Chart of accounts
Fiscal year variant
Standard hierarchy for cost centers
Activated reconciliation ledger indicator
Attributes of the controlling area: Control indicators
Cost Center Accounting activated
Indicator for all currencies
Indicator for company code validation
Assignment of controlling area - company code
Assignmeents between controlling areas and company codes can only be maintained centrally and distributed, if the assignments between local and global company codes match.
Otherwise, you need to make the assignments individually in each system.
The concept of global company codes is explained in Customizing, under the following path:
  Predefined ALE Business Processes
    Accounting
      Financial Accounting
Notes on Distributing Plan Prices
Plan prices for the cost center/activity type combination are distributed using the "COACTV" message category. Before you do this, you need to activate the integration for each planning version used and fiscal year.
To do this in the menu Cost Center Accounting,
choose Planning -> Planning aids -> Integration active in
For distribution method one, you need to activate the integration in the centralized system. For method two, you need activate integration in both the centralized and the decentralized systems.
Notes on Distributing the Reconciliation Ledger
When Cost Center Accounting is distributed, you also need to distribute the reconciliation ledger.
If centralized Cost Center Accounting is used in a system other than the centralized general ledger, then you also need to make some more settings in Customizing in addition to the setting for the message flow between decentralized and centralized cost accounting. This is for the distribution of the reconciliation ledger.
The "RCLROL" message dispatch (from decentralized and centralized Cost Center Accounting to the centralized general ledger) must also be inserted in your distribution model with the company code filter object.
You need to maintain these two message flows in the communication parameters.
There is a restriction, whereby reconciliation postings can only be made on company code level.
Distribution Method One: Partner profiles
Partner profiles in the centralized cost accounting system
In the centralized cost accounting system, you need to maintain outbound partner profiles for each decentralized cost accounting system.
