The GTIN Manager is a section on our GS1 service platform.

You can retrieve and/or create your GTINs there depending on the scope of the service package selected when purchasing your EAN/GTIN licences. You can also create barcodes and publish your data on Verified by GS1.

 

Your greatest benefit from working with the GTIN Manager is that you can use the tool to assign a unique EAN/GTIN to your products, store a small set of product master data and make this information accessible to business partners, retailers and online retailers with just one click. The information can be accessed via the “Verified by GS1” service the instant you set the products to “active” in the GTIN Manager.

 

Why is that important? Many large retailers and online marketplaces use our GS1 services (in this case Verified by GS1) to check the authenticity of the data products and licences. Publishing your data via our services thus brings a lot of benefits for you: Seize the opportunity, build trust and safeguard your business!

Once a product has been set to “Active,” it can no longer be deleted, as GTINs may not be used multiple times for different products. 

Trade and industry have agreed on global standards in this context in the interest of efficient and secure global trade – the GTIN Non-Reuse rules apply, which you can find under www.gs1-germany.de/gtin-non-reuse/.

ACTIVE: The sub-GLN is available to business partners. 

LOCKED: The sub-GLN is no longer used. It remains in GLN Manager, however, so that you have an overview of the sub-GLNs you have used. 

DRAFT: The sub-GLN is still in the draft phase. Its creation serves to provide an overview and as a reservation for a valid sub-GLN.
