In order to consolidate releases to single shipment based on ShipmentConsolidationGroupId attribute , you can call the multi API as shown below -
====================
 <MultiApi>
    <API Name="consolidateToShipment">
      <Input>
        <OrderRelease DocumentType="0001" EnterpriseCode="DEFAULT" DoNotConsolidate="N" OrderNo="20_ORDER_2" OrderHeaderKey="20_ORDER_2" ReleaseNo="1" ShipNode="n1" ShipmentConsolidationGroupId="GROUP1">
          <OrderLines>
            <OrderLine OrderedQty="1">
              <Item ItemID="item1" UnitOfMeasure="EACH" />
            </OrderLine>
          </OrderLines>
        </OrderRelease>
      </Input>
    </API>
    <API Name="consolidateToShipment">
      <Input>
        <OrderRelease DocumentType="0001" EnterpriseCode="DEFAULT" DoNotConsolidate="N" OrderNo="20_ORDER_1" OrderHeaderKey="20_ORDER_1" ReleaseNo="1" ShipNode="n1" ShipmentConsolidationGroupId="GROUP1">
          <OrderLines>
            <OrderLine OrderedQty="1">
              <Item ItemID="item1" UnitOfMeasure="EACH" />
            </OrderLine>
          </OrderLines>
        </OrderRelease>
      </Input>
    </API>
  </MultiApi>
====================

This will make sure that released from both the orders will get consolidated to same shipment with ShipmentConsolidationGroupId as GROUP1.
