This goes against best practice. A company code should only ever be a legal entity. There are other ways of handling what the company wants to do, such as Profit Centre. If you want inter-plant markups, these can also be customized. However using company codes when there is only one legal entity is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, and I would not support it.
