An administrator is configuring custom functionality for an organization that tracks equipment maintenance. The Equipment_Maintenance__c custom object is currently linked to the standard Asset object via a Lookup relationship. The business requires displaying the total aggregated maintenance cost directly on the Asset record, as well as showing the parent Asset region name on the Equipment_Maintenance__c record layout.
Which two statements accurately describe the technical considerations and limitations for implementing these fields? (Select 2)
- Creating a standard Roll-Up Summary field on Asset to calculate total maintenance costs requires converting the Lookup relationship to a Master-Detail relationship.Answer
- A Cross-Object Formula field can be created on Equipment_Maintenance__c to display the region name from the parent Asset record.Answer
- CA standard Roll-Up Summary field can be created on Asset over the existing Lookup relationship if the lookup field is marked as Required.
- DIf an Asset record is deleted, all related Equipment_Maintenance__c child records are automatically retained because Roll-Up Summary fields enforce cascading deletion.
Answer
Standard Roll-Up Summary fields require a Master-Detail relationship on the parent object, while Cross-Object Formula fields on child records can reference fields on parent objects over Lookup relationships.
The correct options accurately reflect Salesforce object relationship behaviors: standard Roll-Up Summary fields strictly require a Master-Detail relationship (requiring conversion from Lookup), whereas Cross-Object Formula fields can easily look up values from parent records over standard Lookup relationships.
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept
Relationship types determine summary capabilities (Master-Detail for standard Roll-Up Summaries), whereas Cross-Object Formulas can navigate upward across Lookup relationships.
