Starting in NetSuite 2024.2, the Global Location Number (GLN) feature has been introduced to enhance the tracking and management of location-based data. The GLN is crucial for businesses engaging in e-invoicing, particularly in regions like Singapore where compliance with PEPPOL (Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line) is essential for invoicing accuracy and efficiency. This feature supports the integration of GLNs, which serve as unique identifiers for parties involved in various transactions.

  • Usage: The adoption of GLNs promotes better data accuracy when exchanging invoices and facilitates smoother communication with trading partners.
  • Configuration: Users can set up these numbers within their NetSuite environment, ensuring compliance with regional invoicing requirements. Refer to the help topic on creating a Singapore PEPPOL E-Invoicing configuration record for additional configuration details.

Who This Affects
