    A GLN (Global Location Number) is a 13 digit number, used mainly by companies that do cross-border trading. This field is not required by Tradeshift, and if you have not needed a GLN in the past, you will probably not need while using Tradeshift. GLN numbers are distributed by GS1. For more information on GLN, have a look at GS1's website here.
