Unique Line ID for Transactions in General Ledger Report

Hi,

I’m working with the General Ledger report through the API, and I’ve noticed that for transactions with multiple lines (such as an invoice), there is no unique identifier for each line within the same transaction ID. This makes it difficult to track changes or map lines when comparing data between requests.

Is there a way to retrieve a unique identifier for each line within the same transaction (e.g., invoice line items) using the API? If not, is there an alternative method or approach to reliably match lines from the General Ledger report to the detailed transaction lines from another API call?
 
Thank you for your help!
