Indicator for Lexicographical

Defines the way numeric material numbers are stored in the database.

Example: if the Internally/externally assigned number If the number is 123 The stored number is 000000000000000123

b. If this indicator is set, and if the material number (numeric or not purely numeric) was assigned externally, it is stored left-justified as entered.

i. Externally assigned number: 123 Stored number: 123
