What it means

A Global Location Number (GLN) must contain 13 digits and a valid check digit. The number supplied does not meet that requirement.

Typical causes

  • A digit was mistyped or omitted.
  • Another business identifier was entered in a GLN field.

How to fix it

  1. Confirm the GLN with the relevant business or GS1 organisation.
  2. Enter all 13 digits, including any leading zeros.
  3. If it is another identifier, select its correct identifier scheme instead of labelling it as a GLN.
What the rule says (technical)

GLN must have a valid format according to GS1 rules (13 digits with a valid check digit).

Check the Global Location Number with your GS1 member organisation.
