Certified Advanced Administrator Exam - Question 28


Universal Containers wants to track expense reports and expense line items. Values from expense line item records need to be aggregated and displayed on the expense record.

Which type of relationship should an administrator use to ensure that expense line items can be aggregated?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

To aggregate values from expense line item records and display them on the expense record, a Master-detail relationship should be used. In this relationship, the expense line items are dependent on the existence of the expense record, and aggregation functions like Roll-Up Summary fields can be used to perform calculations on the child records and display results on the parent record. The Roll-Up Summary field is a feature available in a Master-detail relationship and not an independent relationship type.

hey, the roll up is a type of field. What you need is the type of relationship, in this case, Master Detail. Why? Because if you delete de Expense, you delete all the Expense lines that depends on the parent Expense. Expense line isolated has no sense here.
