In OMSL, you can define the following:

1.  Input and output length of material numbers 
    (A material number can have a maximum of 18 characters).

2.  Template for displaying or printing material numbers.
     You indicate with an underscore any position in the material number that you do not want 
     to contain a template character.

3.  Form in which material numbers are stored 

4.  Output with or without leading zeros 

The settings are client independent.
