GTIN - What is it and how is it used? – Front Systems

General information on GTINs

GTIN is the abbreviation for Global Trade Item Number.
It is a global unique number from the manufacturer for a specific product, and it identifies the exact product in terms of color, size, name and such.
GTIN is becoming increasingly important as many online platforms require the products to be registered and published with their original GTIN.

A GTIN on a product can be added when you create the product or later.

Do the following:

Navigate to Catalog (Product > Catalog).
Select the product you want to add the GTINs.
If this is a new product you first have to add a size system. If not, enter the GTIN under the Identifier section on the right-side of product details page.
Click Add.
Add GTINs for the remaining sizes.

All the added GTINs, will be displayed under the GTIN field.

To remove a GTIN label, click on x next to the GTIN label.

When an invalid GTIN is entered, a message asking if you would like to continue with the invalid GTIN will be displayed.

An invalid GTIN will be indicated with a warning sign.
