Calculate all Order Amounts of a single account into one field

Hello.


Scenario 1

One Account has made 5 orders. Each Order has it's Order Amount. Would it be possible to create a custom field to sum up all those Order Amounts?

Hi BalaYesu,


Thank you fro your reply. Unfortunately roll up summary field is not woking in this case as the Order Amount is a field of Orders. As you stated the roll up sum field works for parent record when it comes from a child record field.

So I need to create a custom lookup relationship in Orders

After I create the field. How do I create the roll up summary since it is for order products.

Lets say the Order Amount for 3 different orders is 500 euros each. So the outcome that I want is a field that will say 1500.

We cannot create roll up summary field for a lookup relation ship. For roll up summary field, it has be to master-detail relationship.

I am not sure the purpose of the field. But can achieve this creating a summay report.

Or by using aggregate functions in apex code in a trigger to sum the order amount and store it at account level.
