3643659 - Why does a duplicate supplier get created during ERP Vendor ID update when importing supplier data in SM Administration in Supplier Lifecycle & Performance?

• When attempting to update the ERP Vendor ID into an existing supplier in Supplier Lifecycle & Performance, the ERP Vendor ID is not updated to the expected value.
• A duplicate supplier is created instead of updating the existing supplier's ERP Vendor ID.
• The root cause is linked to the "smVendorId" field being left blank in the import file by using the Suppliers data import option.
