CCRS converts INT-based InventoryExternalIdentifier into Scientific Notation on CCRS Error CSV.

This happened on a LabResults CSV, where the InventoryExternalIdentifier was sent as "12070035934041615", but the Error CSV returned the InventoryExternalIdentifier as "1.207E+16"

Are they, perhaps, shooting for efficiency of storage over precision? I'm sure they have figured out that, if everything submitted fails submission, they don't have to store anything at all.

Now THAT's LEAN!
