Delete Duplicate GLNs
If you accidentally created a location in GS1 US Data Hub®, resulting in the assignment of duplicate GLNs, you can set the GLN Type(s) for the duplicate GLN to “Inactive.” This will let Location View/Use subscribers know these GLNs are no longer in use.
View the Instructions below on how to set these GLN Type(s) to inactive whether it be via the user interface or import feature.
Steps to update the GLN Type(s) to Inactive via the User Interface
From the GS1 US Data Hub homepage, click the Locations tab.
On the My Locations page, locate and open the GLN record by clicking the blue GLN hyperlink.
