Can I settle a WBS element for a transaction booked in a single ledger?

I work in a multi-ledger environment and today we booked a transaction in a single ledger which is not the leading ledger. Is it possible to settle such a booking to either CWIP or OPEX? I seem to be having issues settling it as the gives me a message that there is nothing to settle.

There is nothing to settle, because your non-leading ledger is not linked with Controlling.  Please check the multiple valuation options in CO module, but at this stage it will not solve you anything.

Settlement is a mostly Controlling only process.  The postings to settle must occur in Controlling and may or may not occur in FI.  For example, a purchase cost is CO and FI, but an internal Labor posting is CO only.

Aren't multi-ledger postings purely FI?  Look at your posting and see if is there only a FI document?  There is nothing to settle without a CO document.
