Hello!
I think that development of the proper naming conventions is one of the basic steps in preparation of any blueprint. You can develop new alphanumeric naming convention with the following structure: two letters + two digits:
- first two letters will show the abbreviation of the geographical region where the company code is situated or the referrence to the role of the company in the value chain e.g. AL (Alabama), CO (Colorado) or MS (marketing & sales), LO (procurement & logistics), OP (main operating fasility) etc.;
- the following two digits will represent the number of company codes: 10, 20, 30 ... etc.
However, the precise structure of the naming convention is up to you. You can develop your own logic behind the code.
