Consolidation is compatible with records that have the Delay consolidation? option selected. If you delay consolidation for a record using the Delay consolidation? option, the rollup is not affected, but the segment is still related to the line list record. However, any changes to the properties of the segment that have been configured for consolidation are not written to the line list record.
The delay consolidation property exposed on the line list record object controls this behavior. In the out-of-the-box system, the default value of this property is set to True. This means that the Delay consolidation? flag is set on the record and consolidation only takes place when the record is created unless the user clears the flag on the record after it is created. If the default value is set to False, then the Delay consolidation? flag is not set on record and subsequent segment rollup always causes a consolidation.
