IC58.1 – Global Location Numbers

About IC58.1

Use Global Location Numbers (IC58.1) to assign and maintain Global Trade Numbers (GLN). This is the only screen where you can edit GLNs and their associations to Lawson entities. The GLN is a 13-digit number used to uniquely identify any legal, functional, or physical entity. Add new GLNs by entering Item Group, GLN and Description and status (with an optional Parent). Assign GLNs to entities by selecting a Type and using the Change function. You can assign GLNs to the following entities: 01 - GL Company 02 - IC Company 03 - IC Location 04 - Req Location 05 - Manuf Code 06 - Manuf Division 07 - AP Vendor 08 - AP Vendor Loc 09 - PO Vendor 10 - PO Vendor Location 11 - IC Bin 12 - Buyer-Code Once a GLN is created it can be assigned to a type. Inquire on the GLN. Enter a value in the Type field that equates to the type of physical location to which you are attaching (07 for Vendor, for example). Perform a Change action.(This can also be done on an Add). The applicable IC64 screen will appear. In the case of a Vendor, Global Location Number Assignment Vendor (IC64.6) appears. A drill around on the GLN Nbr field in IC58 will display all the physical locations associated with the GLN. Use Global Location Number Assignment Vendor (IC64.6) to enter the vendor or vendors that have this GLN associated with them. Perform a Change action. The GLN provides a standard means to identify physical locations and legal entities to improve the efficiency of communication within the supply chain. As the name implies, Global Location Numbers are the GS1 Identification key for locations. Examples of parties and locations than can be identified with GLNs are: -Functional Entities - for example, a purchasing department within a legal entity, an accounting department, a returns department, a nursing station, a ward, a customer number within a legal entity, and so on. -Physical Entities - for example, a particular room in a building, warehouse, warehouse gate, loading dock, delivery point, cabinet, cabinet shelf housing, room within a building, hospital wing, and so on. -Legal Entities / Trading Partner - for example, buyers, sellers, whole companies, subsidiaries or divisions such as suppliers, customers, financial services companies, freight forwarders, and so on. **Creating and Maintaining GLNs** Record associations cannot be made directly on IC58.1. To Add or Delete records associated with a Type 1. Inquire on an Item Group + GLN Nbr. 2. Select a Type value (from 01 to 12) and then click the Change button. This takes you to the appropriate IC64.x screen where you can Add or Delete records.
