Developer Community:  

I have a trigger on the Opportunity object that inserts opportunity line items as assets on the account which is working as expected.  A second trigger on the asset object needs to insert a list of child objects called Asset Components to each asset. If I manually insert an asset (without using the opportunity trigger), the asset trigger works as expected.  If I insert the records via the trigger, the child records are not created.  I'm not sure what I'm missing here - any thoughts? 

Opportunity trigger works as expected, all assets are inserted: 

trigger createAsset on Opportunity (after update) {
	
	List<Opportunity> opptys = new List<Opportunity>();
	List<OpportunityLineItem> opptyLIS = new List<OpportunityLineItem>();
	List<Asset> assets2Insert = new List<Asset>();
	List<Product_Component__c> pcs = new List<Product_Component__c>();
	List<Asset_Component__c> assetComps2Insert = new List<Asset_Component__c>();
	List<Asset> ats = new List<Asset>();	
	
	for(Opportunity o : trigger.new){
		if((o.IsWon == true)&&(o.Status__c=='Shipped')){
			opptys.add(o);
		}
	}
	
	if(!opptys.isEmpty()){
		for(Opportunity os:opptys){
		opptyLIS = [SELECT id, OpportunityId, Opportunity.Accountid, PriceBookEntryid, Quantity,
					PricebookEntry.Product2id, Opportunity.CloseDate, PricebookEntry.Product2.ProductCode
					FROM OpportunityLineItem 
					WHERE OpportunityId = :os.id];
		}
		
		for(OpportunityLineItem lis : opptyLIS){
			Integer lineQty=integer.valueOf(lis.Quantity);
			
			for(Integer i=0; i<lineQty; i++){
					Asset newAsset = new Asset();
					newAsset.Name = lis.PricebookEntry.Product2.ProductCode;
					newAsset.AccountId = lis.Opportunity.AccountId;
					newAsset.Product2Id = lis.PricebookEntry.Product2Id;
					newAsset.H_W_Exp_Date__c = lis.Opportunity.CloseDate.addyears(1);
					newAsset.S_W_Exp_Date__c = lis.Opportunity.CloseDate.addyears(2);
				assets2Insert.add(newAsset);
			}
		}
	}
	
	insert assets2Insert;
}

Asset trigger - works when asset is inserted manually, but not when inserted by above trigger: 

trigger createAssetComponents on Asset (after insert) {
	
	List<Product_Component__c> pcs = new List<Product_Component__c>();
	List<Asset_Component__c> assetComps2Insert = new List<Asset_Component__c>();
	List<Asset> ats = new List<Asset>();

	
	for(Asset a : trigger.new){
		ats.add(a);

	}
	if(!ats.isEmpty()){
		for(Asset asInTrigger : ats){
		pcs=[SELECT Top_Level_Product__c, Quantity__c, Component__c, 
						Component_Name__c, Name
						FROM Product_Component__c 
						WHERE Top_Level_Product__c = :asInTrigger.Product2Id]; 
				
		}
		
		for(Asset ats2 : ats){
			for(Product_Component__c p : pcs){
	
				for(integer c=0; c< p.Quantity__c; c++ ){
					Asset_Component__c assetComps = new Asset_Component__c();
					assetComps.Parent_Asset__c = ats2.id;
					assetComps.Installed__c = date.today();
					assetComps.xAsset_Component__c = p.id;	
					assetComps.Serial_Number__c = 'fill in'+c;
					assetComps2Insert.add(assetComps);	
				}    
			}
		updatedAsset.add(ats2);
	}
	insert assetComps2Insert;
	}	
}

 Thanks for your assistance!
