    Make sure custom fields have the same name, data type, length, and decimal places on both the Price Book Item and Quote Item objects.
  • Fields that are prefixed with Locked_ prevent the editing of the related field (with the similar API name) when the locking field is True.

  • You can add your own Custom Locking Fields to the Quote Item

  • When a locked field on a Price Book Item is copied to the Quote, the Quote Item’s matching field is also locked.
