Common WBS (ID) in different Company codes

Dear All,

Could we have common  WBS ID (same ID ) in two different Projects belong to different company code in same controlling area. Can coding mask be helpful to use common WBS in different project.

One of SAP Note reviles that it can be done. Note is - 1596031 - VF 156: Internal billing doc. finds incorrect WBS element

Awaiting for kind respond.

Thanks Indeed.
