Documentation

Definition

Here, you enter digits 8-12 of the 13-digit international location number.

The international location number (ILN) is assigned when establishing a company (by the "Zentrale für Coorganisation GmbH" in Germany). It consists of 13 digits, the last of which is the check digit. There are two types of international location numbers:

• Subscribers who only need one ILN to identify themselves in communication with the business partner are given an ILN of type 1. These cannot be used for identifying articles by means of EAN.
  
• Subscribers who need to assign location numbers for their own company areas are given an ILN of type 2. Positions 1 through 7 of the ILN type 2 are known as the basis number. This basis number forms the basis for article numbers (EAN).
