Hi Abhishek,

I have a field called amount__c on child and total_amount__c on parent.

total_amount__c takes the sum of all the values in amount__c in child.

Hi Vempally,

To calculate Rollup Summary using the Trigger manually, you need to follow below:

Need to consider all DML operations like insert, update, delete and undelete of child records.

Insert of Child record:
     --> Need to write an after insert trigger to update the Parent record with calculated sum value.
Update of Child record:
     --> Make sure that the Parent information got changed.
     --> Need to write an after update trigger and get both old and new Parent information and perform the re-calculation of sum.
Delete of Child record:
     --> Need to write an after delete trigger to update the Parent record with re-calculated sum value.
Undelete of Child record:
     --> Need to write an after undelete trigger to update the Parent record with re-calculated sum value.

Regards,
Mahesh
