Use of GS1 GLN in CustomerParty

Dear all,

 

How can we indicate in CustomerParty that the IDs are Global Location numbers (EAN code) ?

 

We can see the CustomerAssignedAccountID, the SupplierAssignedAccountID and AdditionalAccountID but there is no way to indicate which scheme is used for the coding of these IDs.
