A GLN is a globally unique identification number that gives you the ability to know who is involved in transactions and where things are located throughout the supply chain. Having and sharing GLNs with your trading partners will help you manage saleable returns and other requirements of the DSCSA.
Helpful Hint: A GLN may have been enumerated for you by your Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) or wholesaler partner. If they have not, you can set up your own GLN(s) for your corporate and site locations. Review our DSCSA quick start guides to learn how to determine if you have a GLN or how you can get your own.
