# Deprecate FulfillmentOrderLineItem.lineItem field

As of API version 2023-01, the `lineItem` field on the `FulfillmentOrderLineItem` resource has been deprecated. The order line item associated with a `FulfillmentOrderLineItem` shouldn't be used to determine what to fulfill.

Use the `FulfillmentOrderLineItem` and `FulfillmentOrder` objects instead. An order `LineItem` represents a single line item on an order, but it doesn't represent what should be fulfilled.
