Define Company Code

Significance: The company code is the single most important of all the fundamental definitions in the enterprise structure customisation. The company code is the identifier by which a company is referred to in all its transactions. It is an independent accounting entity with 4 numeric characters(although the maximum size fixed for it is 4 digits, a company code can consist of less than 4 digits, however, this is not advisable because, only a company code with 4 digits can take advantage of some of the advanced features available in SAP).
