How to update fields with calculations derived from a class
Hi
I've a scenario where, we have a class which calculates summary totals on the Order object based on values stored in an invoice object.
The invoice object only has a lookup relationship to Orders.
The calculations derived from the apex class are then displayed on the Order, in a visualforce page
Note: no fields are being updated on the Order record during this time.
My problem is, that I have been asked to display the same summary total information, in the edit page of each invoice.
What is the easiest way of achieving this?
Also, I am not a coder. I can read code and make small tweaks to code so need to be able to copy and paste ideally.
I am very proficient in visualwork flow, and am thinking this may be an option but have a very tight deadline to complete this work so do not want too complicated.
Thanks in advance,
Jane

There are two ways that you can approach this:
1) Try to reproduce the calculations that the Apex code is doing either in Flow or Process Builder, then save those calcuations in a field on the Order or Invoice object.
2) Find an Apex developer that will be able to retool/redevelop the code you currently have to save those fields on one of the objects.
