OrderLineItemID Field Available in Alerts That Include ClientAlertsTransactionType

Note that this feature is only available if you set your request version to 705. It is eBay's recommendation to test the use of this field in Sandbox before implementing it in production code.

OrderLineItemID field introduced in Trading API calls that use ItemID and TransactionID. OrderLineItemID is a concatenation of ItemID and TransactionID with a hyphen in between these two IDs. For Trading calls that take ItemID and TransactionID as input, OrderLineItemID can be used as a replacement for these two fields.
