var pageDictionary  = [
    "Ca",
    "Pu",
    "Sc",
    "St",
    "Ts",
    "Wh",
];
var fieldDictionary = [
    "Pn",
    "Dsc",
    "We",
    "Up",
    "Vol",
    "Tot",
];
var lineDictionary = {
    "Ca": 6,
    "Pu": 6,
    "Sc": 6,
    "St": 6,
    "Ts": 6,
    "Wh": 6,
}

var linesInFinalQuote = 0;
var i = 0; //Primary Itteration
var it = 0; //Secondary Itteration


for( i = 0; i < pageDictionary.length; i++)
{
    // Itteration through pages
    for(it = 0; it < lineDictionary[pageDictionary[i]]; it++)
    {
            // Itteration through each line on the page
            var itemVolume = String(this.getField(pageDictionary[i] + "Vol" + it).valueAsString);
           
            // Goes through each line as gets the volume of the line
            if(itemVolume > 0)
                    // Add to final page
                    linesInFinalQuote += 1;
                    // For loop to add this line to final page
                    for(var j = 0; j < fieldDictionary.length; j++)
                    {
                            (this.getField("Qu"+String(fieldDictionary[j])+String(linesInFinalQuote)).value = this.getField((pageDictionary[i] + fieldDictionary[j] + String(it)).value));
                    }
    }
}

My guess is you're trying to access incorrect field names. I would recommend you add some debugging code, starting with printing out the names of the fields you're constructing, and making sure that using getField on those names returns a Field object, and not null.
