    hi you can solve this problem by two way:

    1- in sql server you must create a daily sql job that daily update this lookup field from source (asynchronous)

    2- create a step workflow (by visual studio) on Quote Product then call this step by real time workflow for update your fields (synchronous)

    Hi Irfan,

    I assume the relationship between Opportunity and Quote Product is as below. Please correct if my assumption is wrong.

    Opportunity --(1:N)--> Quote --(1:N)--> Quote Product

    Your requirement is to map Primary Solution Division and Opportunity Category from Opportunity to Product Division and Product - Category in Quote Product respectively.

    To achieve this, you can use both option 1) & 2) or only option 2) below.

    1) Client side, you need to create a javascript function onload of Quote Product form to fetch and update these two lookup fields from Opportunity via Quote.

    2) Server side, you can create a plug-in on pre-create (preferred) of Quote Product to fetch and update the lookup fields from Opportunity via Quote.
