Participating and non-participating company codes have the same company
code for number assignment. If you rename or map this company code for
number assignment, all non-participating company codes will have the new
company code for number assignment as well. If you want to rename or map
this company code for number assignment, and you do not want to have

create (before or after the conversion) a new company code for number
assignment if necessary, and reassign the affected company codes.
