Importing Industry Codes

Siebel applications support the use of Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes. For example, a company may want to categorize its customers by industry type using SIC codes. In Siebel applications, the SIC field holds values that map to specific industries. If you want to use SIC codes, you can import data from a third-party database that supports SIC codes using EIM.

NOTE:  SIC codes are valid only for the United States and Canada. If you want to implement industry codes for other countries, you need to create custom industry codes for your company and map these codes accordingly in EIM.
