Who assigns and How is the supplierID assigned? #6

As a follow up to #1 :

Alternatively, it can be generated using a specific algorithm or process that ensures uniqueness and avoids conflicts. However, this is something that we will need to discuss in the industry, once we take the next steps and work with other industry peers soon.

Creating this issue to track this.
