Q. WHAT ARE DUNS NUMBERS? |
| |
| |
A. A nine-digit, non-indicative identification number assigned by Dun & Bradstreet to all business establishments in the Dun & Bradstreet information base. It is often referred to as the social security number for businesses. In today's global economy, Dun & Bradstreet's Data Universal Numbering System, the Dun & Bradstreet D-U-N-S Number, has become the standard for keeping track of the world's businesses. Its unique nine-digit code helps you identify and link more than 50 million companies worldwide. Visit the www.dnb.com web site for additional information.
We use duns numbers to identify each of our distribution centers. The first nine characters will correspond with a location number and the suffix represents the specific ship-to location. These duns numbers are sent on EDI purchase orders and returned on the EDI invoices. If the number is not correct on the invoice, it can not route through our reconciliation system correctly and delays payment.
If you have further questions, contact the corporate EC department at edi@awginc.com.
