A unique identifier for an order line item (transaction). An order line item is created when a buyer commits to purchasing an item.
Since you can change active multiple-quantity fixed-price listings even after one of the items has been purchased, the TransactionID is associated with a snapshot of the item data at the time of the purchase.
After one item in a multi-quantity listing has been sold, sellers can not change the values in the Title, Primary Category, Secondary Category, Listing Duration, and Listing Type fields. However, all other fields are editable.
Specifying a TransactionID in the GetItem request allows you to retrieve a snapshot of the listing as it was when the order line item was created.

Field Index to learn which calls use TransactionID.
