Centre de coût ABC et non-ABC

French translation:non- ABC (non + nom)

Pourquoi ne pas garder le tiret, même si c'est un qualifiquatif?
Ce sera plus net dans le texte (qui semble reprendre une liste).

Grading comment

Thank you. I kept it as non-ABC, since the rule is non+noum (subst.) is with hyphen, but I am still not confortable with this as it is used as an adj.
Another colleague has the same feeling.
