Which field to use for sales order "Application"?

Hi experts, we are using Ax 2012 R3.

My question is: which field should we use to add to a sales order what the final application will be?

Let me explain: we sell luminaires to installers, who install these in various environments. The same customer may thus install a luminaire in a certain project in a hospital, and in another project in a steel factory.

I'd like to be able to capture this information at the moment of order entry, so that I can use it for analysis later using the business intelligence cubes.

Which field do you recommend?

General tab:
- Campaigns? (we currently do not use this)
- Sales category? (we currently do not use this)
- ...?
Setup tab:
- Sales origin? (we currently use this as "Mail", "Internet", "Fax", ...)
- Sales group? (we currently do not use this)
- Sales unit? (we currently do not use this)
- ...?
Any other?
