Hi,

I may not be understanding this but I don't see the problem. When I reconcile 
my accounts there are nearly always transactions in kmymoney which are not on 
the statement but I am still able to complete the reconciliation. The left 
over transactions will be on the next statement and can be reconciled when 
that arrives.

Also, have you tried the automatic reconciliation feature? Switch it on in 
Configuration / Ledger / Data Entry. I use it and it works great for me.

Regards, Dave.
