Global Location Numbers (GLNs) are identity numbers in the GS1 numeric system and are already used in the CashEDI procedure to identify parties involved in the process (e.g. depositors, carriers, etc.).
If your deposits are notified via a CIT company and this company only submits your funds in collective deposits, you may not yet have reported a GLN to the Bundesbank. In this case, please check in your enterprise first whether a GLN already exists (and has only been used in other areas thus far) that you can report to us. In addition, you can use the “Verified by GS1” service provided by GS1 (gs1.org) to conduct an initial search to see if your enterprise has an existing GLN.
If your enterprise does not yet have a GLN, you can purchase a corresponding licence via your national GS1 organisation (e.g. GS1 Germany gs1-germany.de).
