What the two codes are
ISRC
One recording
Every track has its own, and it follows that recording to every store and playlist. Your PRO, SoundExchange and YouTube Content ID ask for it when you register a track.
UPC
One release
A single, an EP or an album. A single has one UPC and one ISRC; an EP with five tracks has one UPC and five ISRCs.
When you need them
When a label released the track, the codes came from the label's distributor and are often never sent to the artist. You need them to register the song for royalties, to fill in a split sheet, to claim the track on artist profiles, and to check that a release went out under the right credits.
