Laboratories issue their own report numbers for each analytical deliverable. The labReportId captured on an ImportBatch links Piper's import record back to the lab's official report identifier, making it easy to cross-reference Piper data with the paper or digital report you received. This is important during regulatory submissions and audits where you must demonstrate that specific lab report numbers correspond to the results stored in your compliance database.
