I look to my rule about industry standards and not inventing my own codes and find the Dun & Bradstreeet numbers for customers. I do not care if it is a company or a person as long as they pay on time.
CREATE TABLE Orders
(order_nbr INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
CHECK ( <<check digit logic>>),
duns_nbr CHAR(9) NOT NULL
REFERENCES DunNumbers (duns_nbr)
ON UPDATE CASCADE
ON DELETE CASCADE,
..
)
