How do I specify the Industry Classification for accounts?

NAICS and SIC contain classification codes that represent major industries.

North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) provide uniform classification system of industries. For example,

322 is the NAICS classification code for Paper Manufacturing and 3254 is the NAICS classification code for Pharmaceutical and Medicine Manufacturing.
