Description:

This is the GLN of the Recipient. Inserting this GLN will ensure that the pricing information is recorded against the appropriate data recipient.

This may be a supermarket or a healthcare Jurisdiction etc.

Each pricing record on the National Product Catalogue must be recorded against a particular Recipient (trading partner). The Publisher will need to enter separate pricing records per Recipient.

Example:

ABC Supplies is going to record pricing only against XYZ Supermarkets.

To ensure that pricing information is sent to the correct data recipient, ABC Supplies will enter XYZ Supermarkets GLN (9377771234561) within the pricing information.  

Useful Tips:

  • Use only valid GLNs allocated by GS1 member organisations.

Healthcare Sector

  • GLN information is now being actively maintained by the National Product Catalogue Recipients on GS1 Locatenet. National Product Catalogue users will need to subscribe to GS1 Locatenet in order to obtain the correct GLN information for both Pricing and Ship To locations.
