Answer:

Document numbering/coding system is more relevant for documents like procedures, work instructions and forms. I cannot say that I use a best practice, I use a simple method: The management system is based on a map of interrelated processes. So, each process is numbered (1, 2, 3, …). Any procedure (PR), or work instruction (WI), or form (F), starts with a number identifying the process where is used or most used, followed by a sequence number. WI02.02.A is the second work instruction created to use in process 2. A means it is in version A.
