Cost Center not updated in General Ledger view, New GL tables

Issue
A Financial Accounting document has been posted in the system with multiple CO account assignment objects, and some Controlling account assignment objects of the entry view are not updated in general ledger view.
For example: A FI document is posted with a WBS element and a Cost Center, and the cost center is displayed in the entry view of the document (FB03) but not in general ledger view. The cost center is also not updated in table FAGLFLEXA and hence does not appear in GL line item display transaction FAGLL03 as well.
Even when New GL is active and Cost Center Update scenario (FIN_CCA) is assigned to the concerned ledger

Solution
This behavior occurs if the CO account assignment is statistical and not actual (real).
In the above example, If the WBS element involved in real, the posting to Cost Center would only be statistical and thus it would not be updated in New GL tables. However, if the WBS element involved is statistical, the posting to Cost Center would be real (actual) and it would be updated in general ledger view and New GL tables.

The following SAP Note provides details of this system behavior
Note 964686 - Transfer of statistical postings in CO to FI
