just go to :
Koha >> Parameters >> systempreferences >> itemcallnumber
You define here the (biblio) subfield you use to report in your (item) 
callnumber subfield. So 050x for you.

Then, in your MARC structure, go to your item field (995 for example), 
edit your callnumber field and "map it" to items.itemcallnumber.

That's all. Now, when you validate a biblio, and add an item, the item 
is automatically by default with the 050x value.

Note this is not true for bulkmarcimported biblios. Just for new 
manually entered ones.

yes, by default 090 is used internally. But the good new is that you can 
"move" the 090 parameters where you want (091, 109...) the only limit is 
that the field you choose must have the 2 subfields and no other one.
