what is product line item?

SwethaSwetha (Salesforce Developers) 
HI Swapnil,
I have not found any Salesforce documentation related to productLineItem nor there have been any usecases/ questions around this object. Can you elaborate on your usecase?

Line Item is a junction object. Product line items in Salesforce refers specifically to what you sell – taking into account quantity, product and price – and when you deliver them.
Reference: https://www.insightsquared.com/blog/why-you-need-product-line-items-in-salesforce/

The only various object relationships that salesforce mentions are below: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api.meta/api/data_model.htm

Product and Schedule Objects ER Diagram explains product and its relationships : https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api.meta/api/sforce_api_erd_products.htm

Hope this helps you. Please mark this answer as best so that others facing the same issue will find this information useful. Thank you

"Product line item" is a misnomer.
It doesn’t exist as an actual object or thing in Salesforce.

However, it is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to Opportunity Products.  This, I believe, occurs because the sObject label is “Opportunity Product” and the API name is “OpportunityLineItem”.  The two terms become blended into “opportunity product line item” or “product line item”.


So this is why correct language when referring to Salesforce is essential.
