The order of a compound index definetly has an impact.
Best thing to do would be to create a compound index in both orders, cocode/docnum and docnum/cocode.
If you have to choose one (for space concerns or write performance), go with the column with the most distinct values first (DocNum) as this will reduce the top level cardinality.
Edit - check index organised tables too - you could organise on the company code depending on the use case.

Is there a preferred order for the index? I.e. should I used CoCode, DocNum or DocNum CoCode? Or does it not matter?
