Healthcare: Transfer a GLN

If you are a Managed GLN subscriber (healthcare), you can transfer a GLN in GS1 US Data Hub from one GPO or Wholesaler to another. This may be the result of a merger or other business situation.

Before you transfer a location, consider these issues:

- Transfers can occur between: two Managed GLN subscribers, a Managed GLN subscriber and an associated Self-Managed organization, and two Self-Managed organizations.
Note:
Organizations that have licensed a GS1 Company Prefix are NOT eligible to transfer GLNs.

- Users must have the Location Administrator role to perform a transfer.

- If the GLN has "descendants," then they are also transferred. 
The GLN has descendants if it serves as the "Administrative Parent" of other GLNs. If these other GLNs also serve as Administrative Parents, then their "child" GLNs are also transferred.

A transferred GLN will inherit the “Share” settings of its new company.
