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.
