In B1 Import of G/L history does not go to Control Account? How then?

Question

Hi Forum,
I have tried it myself and read through the forum to know, when we import transactions such as A/R and A/P G/L history, we can not import the renovations to the A/R or A/P Control Account.
If we make the control account, non-control, then it can not be made Control again after transactions are entered? Call these accounts that contain A/R and A/P history as 1111 and 2222.
Some customers may have many control accounts for A/R and A/p depending upon their warehouses etc.
The question is?
Going forward all current transactions from A/R and A/P will go to a different control account say 1000 and 2000, and all old transactions related to that customer from previous months is in a different account - 1111, 2222.
How do you handle this situation? What do customers of SAP B1 do? For getting history of Business partner, other statistics etc.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Son Tran,
I tried tried your suggestions the best I could in my setting, but I failed again. The DTW keeps complaining about Control Account can not be used. Here are my Journal Entry import header and lines that work (that is without control account).
OJDT Header below:
==================
RecordKey     AutoVAT     DueDate     ReferenceDate     StampTax     UseAutoStorno     VatDate
RecordKey     AutoVAT     DueDate     ReferenceDate     StampTax     UseAutoStorno     VatDate
1     tNO     20080402     20080402     tNO     tNO     20080402
Matching JDT1 Lines
==================
RecordKey     LineNum     AccountCode     Credit     Debit     DueDate     ControlAccount
RecordKey     LineNum     AccountCode     Credit     Debit     DueDate     Account
1     0     12350000     180          20080402     
1     1     41100000          180     20080402     
1     2     24100000          0     20080402     
1     3     13500000          126     20080402     
1     4     51100000     126          20080402     
Note: Control account column is not used at all.
In the above JDT1 Lines all account codes are non control accounts. There is only one A/R account that I want changed to control account. That is 12350000 will be changed to 12110000 (this is a control account).
When I do the change to control account, the above DTW import fails with the error - 1000415 Cannot perform transaction in controlling type account JDT1 - 1211000 error 65171.
Look forward to your help.
I also tried many other combinations and failed.
Thanks.
