Summary Roll-ups across Multiple Objects
Has anyone had any success with Roll-up Calculations across objects?
Here is my need.
example
Bill of Material - Detail Record
Build Box-A for Account Name
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Related List
Object Material = 1,000.00
# of Material 5 - -----------------------> transactions wood, metal, paper Etc unlimited
Object Supplies = 500.00
Object Labor = 2,000.00
# of Labor = 4----------------------------> the # of Workers and hrs
Misc 50.00 -----------> other transactions
total 3,550.00
Note: Box-A could have several hundred components.(Related-Lists ??).
How can I get this $3,550.00 to show on the detail record? APEX, VB, Triggers, anything or can it be done.
Thanks

If your objects are related with a Master/Detail relationship then you can use a standard roll-up summary formula field and avoid programming this completely.

Thanks I think I'm going down the right path,
1. One of my problems was using existing data, when trying to roll-up had to clear out the data then reconstruct the relationships. Got the first 3 levels to roll-up like magic thanks..
