    At least the last reconciliation amount...

   How can one do that ?

    Yes it does. It's in the XML section of the account.

    That's a sure thing : triple-checked what's cleared on the current
    statement => the total of what should be marked as reconciled is right
    however as the previous reconcilation amount is wrong, the current
    reconciliation amount is wrong by the same number. If I tell KMM what
    the amount at the end of the current statement is really, KMM tells me
    that I cleared 60€ more than what should be cleared...

    The error has been introduced during the modification of the previous
    reconciliation and there is no way to fix it...

    Good to know for the next time...
    Thanks.
