Impact of changing master-detail field to a lookup
Hi
Are there any impacts (in native Salesforce functionality such as report etc) I should be aware of when changing a master-detail field to a lookup ?
Many thanks

1). Master-Detail relationship fields are mandatory while Lookup is not.
2.) If you have any Rollup summary fields that won't work with Lookup fields.
3.) If you have any Apex code which is referencing master-detail fiel, it will stop working if you are not checking not equals to null in your code as future records might not have any value to this field(Look up is not mandatory).
Hope this helps !!
If this helps,please mark this as best answer to help others :)
There will be no loss of Data, if you change type of Master Detail field to Look-up field. So as in reports nothing affect them.
