Description:

GLN of the Brand Owner.

The brand owner is the source of the data related to the trade item, but is not necessarily responsible for providing and maintaining the data in the Catalogue — that is the responsibility of the information provider. The Brand Owner may or may not be the same as the information provider and can also be a Distributor or Retailer that licenses a brand name to various private label manufacturers.

If a private-label item, enter the Retailer’s GLN for this attribute.

Example:

ABC Distribution (GLN X) sells baby formula produced by RST Milk Products (GLN Y). RST Milk Products owns the brand and is the source of the data relating to the trade item, but is not responsible for providing and maintaining catalogue data, ABC Distribution is. Therefore, ABC Distribution is the Publisher, and RST Milk Products is the brandOwner. Provide 'GLN Y' to represent RST Milk Products for this attribute.
