Identification

Partner Detail → Identification

By far the most common way is to use GLN numbers, but Link also allows the use of identification that has been defined by mutual agreement between partners.

One the page you will see a data grid displaying the different identification types and values registered on the partner. From here you can edit, delete and create new identification records. If you need additional information on how to manipulate the data grid, see the 'Data Grid' page in the documentation.
