Cost Elements / IDocs

Hello,

I am creating cost elements in ECC via inbound IDoc type COELEM01. I am not sure how to differentiate between primary and secondary cost elements. Any clues? When I try to post a journal entry I get the following error:

"Do not use cost element xxxxxxxxx for CO Through-postings from FI"

Based on that error message it seems as though the Primary Cost Element is getting mistaken for a Secondary Cost Element. Does anyone know if there is any particular flag or setting on the IDoc that would differentiate between primary and seconday?

This is not really an ABAP question. You might want to ask in FI or EDI forum instead.

If you know what field the secondary/primary indicator is stored in, you can search for the same field in the IDoc documentation. Usually the field names are the same in the IDoc and database.
