What is Global Supply Chain Identification?

Global Supply Chain Identification is the process of assigning one globally unique number to each location that receives products from suppliers. Both customers and suppliers have these numbers assigned. You, as a healthcare provider, will have a number if a supplier is going to deliver products to your specific location. If suppliers only deliver products to your receiving dock, only that location will have a Global Location Number (GLN). Alternatively, if suppliers deliver to more locations, additional numbers are assigned.
