A Global Location Number (GLN) is a GS1 identifier for parties and locations, including companies, warehouses and stores. It differs from a GTIN for products or services and an SSCC for a logistics unit.[1]
Use a GLN when trading partners need to identify a party or location unambiguously. A supplier might distinguish several delivery sites within one organisation. Record what each number identifies and do not silently change that meaning; an identifier in a business message is useful only when both parties understand the same location.
