Answer 1

Hi,
In order to change the Open Item Management for a G/L account using
ZFSEPA02 the line item total(Total of open items)for this account
should match/tally with the account balance for this account (FS10),
otherwise the open item activation will not be possible.
Unfortunately as per note 175960 you find reports RFSEPA02/ RFSEPA03
are no longer supported as of release 4.5A.
ALTHOUGH you can find a possible solution on how to tally the line items
to the balance in the NOTE 403744.
1.  Active New General Ledger
         This note applies ONLY WITH RESTRICTIONS to Release ERP 2004 or ERP
         2005 with activated New General Ledger and activated document
         splitting.
         In these releases, it is not currently possible to subsequently
         activate the open item management under the specified conditions.
         The only option currently available is to set up a new account with
         open item management and to use this instead of the original
         account.
         However, it is also possible to deactivate the open item management
         using report ZFSEPA03 under the prerequisites described below.
     2.  Migration to the New GL:
         If you are planning to migrate to the new General Ledger using a
         migration type that enables the use of document splitting, ensure
         that in Phase 1 and Phase 2 NO changes are make to the open item
         management. Phases 1 and 2 indicate the period between the migration
         date and the end of the actual migration (the "Migration Completed"
         indicator is set)
