My class subtracts the values of child account number fields from the current values of it's parent account number fields in a hierarchy. I need this class to run everytime a child account changes its parent (i.e the parent name field is edited to a new name). I'm attempting to have this trigger compare the old value and the new value of the parent field, when creating the logic for this trigger I keep recieving this error message:




Method does not exist or incorrect signature: void executeSub(Account)
from the type Parent_Subtract




Class:



public class Parent_Subtract {

Id DSAccounts = '01270000578681Y';


List<Id> listIds = new List<Id>();
Map<Id, Account> parentAccounts = new Map<Id, Account>([SELECT Id, RecordTypeId, Parent_Account__c, Total_CCF__c, Total_Revenue__c,

}


Trigger:



   if(Trigger.isUpdate){

}
Parent_Subtract.executeSub(acct);
}

}


Am I on the right track with this functionality and does anyone know why I am recieving this message?

          You're calling a method with a single Account parameter:



          Parent_Subtract.executeSub(acct);


          but this method is defined to take a List<Account> as its parameter:



          public static void executeSub(List<Account> scope) 


          This method is bulkified: it is defined to run exactly one DML operation:



          update  listforFinalUpdate;


          regardless of how many Account records it receives. For this reason you need to be calling it with a List<Account>, not calling it repeatedly in a loop. Your trigger should accumulate a List<Account> inside your for loop, and then make a single call to executeSub() outside the loop.

          I've updated the trigger and don't receive the error message but values still do not decrement when the field is changed. I'm new to analyzing the debug logs but when I check I see that there is no soql execution for my class when its fired. Is there something else im doing wrong?
