This field can be assigned only if the line contains a numerical data element. If set to "Yes", it allows you to roll up totals to higher "Groups" in the inquiry display (i.e., at higher break levels).
But note that while this works fine for "raw" data (such as sales revenue), it is inappropriate to accumulate certain kinds of calculations (such as a percentage like gross margin %), since the total display will NOT be recalculated on the total lines, but rather, will just show an uninterpretable total.
