Salesforce How to update a roll-up summary field on parent table from inside method that gets triggered when child is persisted

0 votes
I made a Commission object with a commission amount c property that has a master detail relationship with Contact. Total Commission c is a sum up field on Contacts that adds up all commission amounts from Commissions associated to each Contact. I've added a trigger to Commission that calls the updatePrimary function. When I query this inside updatePrimary, I receive the old value in the sumup field(total commission), not the new value with the new commission amount appended. It hasn't come to a conclusion yet. If at all possible, some assistance would be greatly appreciated.

At the save order of execution, you're in the wrong place.

After the triggers are fired in Step 8, the parent object's roll-up summary fields are changed in Step 18.

You'll need to put a trigger on the parent object if you want to react to the update of your roll-up summary field. If I understand your requirement properly, you might be able to create a formula field on the Commission object that references the Contact's roll-up summary field.

Hope this helps!
