gln validator
GS1 Global Location Number — 13 digits with GTIN-style checksum.
Reference
Format
Matches `/^\d{13}$/`, then delegates to the GTIN checksum (mod-10 weighted 3,1,3,1…) for the trailing digit.
Examples
- 7601001000001 (sample CH GLN)
- 4012345000009 (sample DE GLN)
- 0614141999996
How it runs
Implementation
Faithful summary of lib/validators.ts. Validators are pure functions and run identically in the worker, the Workbench, and the MCP server.
function validGln(value) {
if (!/^\d{13}$/.test(value)) return fail('gln_format', 'expected 13 digits')
return validGtin(value) // same mod-10 checksum
}Config
Use in a template
Validators attach to a field on a custom template. The cascade runs them after mapping but before commit; failures surface in the per-row validation report.
fields:
- column: gln
type: string

Common gotchas
- GLN and GTIN-13 share the same checksum. A "valid GLN" might syntactically also be a valid GTIN — the namespaces overlap; only the GS1 prefix tells them apart.
- No GS1 GEPIR (company prefix) lookup. We cannot tell you who owns a given GLN.
- Leading zeros are significant. Send as a string.

Pricing
Validators run on every committed row
Validators add no AI cost — they are pure functions. Every map bills a small flat per-map fee from your prepaid token wallet ($10 minimum, shared across our suite); only columns that reach the metered LLM layer, plus any-to-any convert and reshape, bill real AI tokens. See pricing →
