What is the global location number?

Global position number (GLN) is a unique numeric code that provides generally accessible information on the location of physical objects and entities such as bank accounts or staff. It is part of an ensemble of international standards of established GS1, organizations that support the use of global standards for business communication to facilitate companies of all entrepreneurs on the international platform. Each global location number has 13 digits and monitors the standard code, which allows anyone who knows the system to read it. Finally, the global position number also contains 13. The global position number can go to business cards, packaging, labels, statements and other business communication for easy reference of business and business partners. Usually, 12 digits appear together and checked the number of digits to make sure that people know they are not part of the code.

In the case of physical location, the global location can mark a specific office within the company, a specific building or other location. Global location numbers can also refer to entities in society such as department. For example, the global identification number may indicate that the statement comes from the department of payable accounts. Individuals can also have their own global position numbers. Bank accounts and records may also have position numbers that make it easier to find and links.

In the documents, this code can serve as a rapid reference to information about where the document comes from and where to drive any answers or correspondence. The global position number for a person remains consistent even if the individual changes the office position. This can be useful for continuity when people want to stay in communication with the same person while working on the project.

Global position numbers can also be useful for monitoring goods. The number can provide information about the placement of stocksand other objects. This can be useful in watching stocks in warehouses and shops where people need to know how many objects they have and where they are. Links to identifiers can be as accurate as individual shelves in the warehouse, allowing staff to specify exactly where the item is looking at the global position number.
