Question #: 38
Topic #: 4

The sales Operations team at AWS Computing deletes accounts for a variety of a reasons. The sales ops director is worried that the Sales team may delete accounts that sales reps are actively selling into.

Now should the app builder keep accounts with open opportunities from being deleted?

ACreate an Apex Trigger on the Account object

BCreate a validation rule on the Account object.

CRemove the delete button on the account layout

DRemove the Delete permission from the Sales Rep profile.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Create a validation rule on the Account object is how the app builder can keep accounts with open opportunities from being deleted. According to theSalesforce documentation, ''Validation rules verify that data entered by users in records meet the standards you specify before they can save it.'' A validation rule can check if an account has any open opportunities and display an error message if someone tries to delete it. Create an Apex trigger on the Account object, remove the delete button on the account layout, and remove the Delete permission from the Sales Rep profile are not valid or sufficient solutions for this requirement.

Salesforce why delete vs deactivate validation rules is an important consideration for admins. Deleting a validation rule removes it permanently, which can impact historical data or functionality, while deactivating allows flexibility to reuse or review it later without losing its configuration! Its my opinion.

Haha, why not just disable the sales reps' computers altogether? That'll really keep them from deleting accounts. Gotta love those creative solutions!

Removing the delete button or permission is a band-aid solution. What if the sales reps need to delete accounts for other legitimate reasons? A more flexible approach is needed.

That could work too, but I think creating a validation rule is simpler and less risky.

But wouldn't removing the Delete permission from the Sales Rep profile be a more effective solution?

I think option B is the way to go. Validation rules are easier to maintain than triggers, and they'll get the job done just as well.

A trigger seems like the best way to prevent account deletion with open opportunities. Validation rules can work, but a trigger would be more robust.

I don't know, I kind of like the idea of removing the delete button. That way, there's no confusion or accidental deletions. It's a simple and foolproof solution.

Removing the delete button or the delete permission might be a bit heavy-handed, don't you think? That could really hamper the Sales team's workflow.

Yeah, you make a good point. A validation rule could give us more control and let the Sales team delete accounts in certain circumstances, like if there are no open opportunities.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. We definitely don't want the Sales team accidentally deleting accounts with open opportunities. That could really mess things up for the business.
