Please see an example scenario:

Our example here is – 

We are trying to setup a supplier record for Lee’s Kitchen.  We first set this supplier us as a supplier in the UK.  We know that, UK company law does not allow duplicate of company name.  On the supplier profile in Oracle we register the company number and the tax registration.  

Then – we expand into India – and India also want to trade with Lee’s Kitchen – where the company name is spelt exactly the same.  It’s a different legal entity, different company number, different tax registration -  they have nothing to do with each other – besides the fact that in their respective countries they have registered the same legal business name.
