    One example that I know is where multiple currencies are involved, the penny differences caused by exchange rates are posted in the error account.

    This is an interesting question that I had never considered before, so I went poking around the class LedgerConsolidate.

    Anytime there is an imbalance in the totals being transferred (for which exchange ranges certainly seems like the most likely cause), the system will first try to use either the "Balance account for consolidation differences" for balance sheet accounts or the "Profit and loss account for consolidation differences" for profit and loss accounts.  These can both be configured under General ledger, Setup, Posting, Accounts for automatic transactions.  Only if those accounts are not setup does it fall back to the Error account, also configured in the same place.
