The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy.
CHS Manager requires a Facility to input a NAICS code as a requirement of submitting a report. There are two available fields, NAICS 1 and NAICS 2, compared to in the past when it was a single field that allowed for multiple codes separated by a comma.
CHS Manager has a Search NAICS function, within a report, to find the most current NAICS code, which is updated from the US Census Bureau's website https://www.census.gov/naics.
The NAICS fields are located in the Annual, Revision or Update report in Step 1 on the Location and Business Activity at this Site tab.
To input or update a NAICS code, follow the steps below:
- Edit Step 1 of a report
- Verify that the Location and Business Activity at this Site tab, the first tab, is highlighted, see above screen shot for reference
- On the right hand side of the screen locate the NAICS code section, see above screen shot for reference
- Click on Search NAICS, the NAICS 1/2 fields are not an input-able field and the Search function must be used
- The NAICS List will open in a pop up window, type in the Business Description in the Description field OR type in the most current NAICS code found on the Census Bureau website https://www.census.gov/naics, in the NAICS column
- In the Search Results pane, Click on the appropriate Business Description from the list, this will then open the report after auto-filling the NAICS 1/2 and the NAICS 1/2 Description fields. These fields are not changeable unless a new NAICS code is input from the Search List
- Fill in the required field: Description of Business Activities
- Continue with inputting and submitting the report
