Answer 1

You are permitted to post the recon account undercertain special circumstances :
USe the transaction codes OAMK and OASV.
Kindly read the SAP on line documentation before making a postings directly to the recon account.
Definition of the Reconciliation Accounts
You are not allowed to manually post to the reconciliation accounts for Asset Accounting in Financial Accounting. Normally, you designate the corresponding General Ledger accounts in Financial Accounting as reconciliation accounts. This change, however, can no longer be made in Financial Accounting, once these accounts already have balances from the legacy data transfer. However, you can use a special report to assign these accounts the status of reconciliation accounts in Financial Accounting (in Customizing for Asset Accounting, choose Preparing for Production Startup ® Production Startup ® Set Reconciliation Accounts).
There is another report for removing this specification (Reset Reconciliation Accounts).
Subsequent Correction Postings to Reconciliation Accounts
Suppose you have already defined the asset G/L accounts in Financial Accounting as reconciliation accounts, but still need to transfer balances to these accounts, or make corrections. You can make correction postings to these reconciliation accounts with a special posting transaction in Customizing for Asset Accounting (Transfer Balances), using posting key 40 or 50. You can only postings to those accounts in a company code with implementation status (Customizing for Asset Accounting, choose Preparing for Production Startup ® Production Startup ® Activate Company Code).
