Hebrew term or phrase: Company ID number

In a company ID number I have two abbreviations and I need to find out what they stand for.

The number is divided into 3 sections and looks like this:

"samech,bet" Ordinal number "Zayin"
5 000000 23

what do "samech,bet" and "zayin" stand for?

Many thanks,
Suzan

samekh bet is check digit

Explanation:
samekh bet stands for sifrat biqoret, which is usually translated as check digit. I've seen control digit but it sounds like Heblish to me.

No idea about the other one.
