A Household Account has Contacts with Affiliations, Relationships, and Closed/Won donations associated with it.

When a system admin attempts to delete a Household Account record that has Contacts with Affiliations, Relationships, and Closed/Won donations associated with it, Salesforce will prevent the deletion and display an error message. Here’s why:

Closed/Won Donations:

Salesforce prevents the deletion of records that have important related records, such as Closed/Won donations, to maintain data integrity.

Closed/Won Opportunities represent actual donations that are crucial for reporting and financial tracking. Deleting the associated Household Account would disrupt this data integrity.

Error Message:

Salesforce will display an error message indicating that the record cannot be deleted because of its associated Closed/Won donations. This safeguard ensures that critical financial data is preserved.
