  Consult with Data Management Team: If you are unsure about the changes or need further assistance, consult with your data management or governance team to understand the implications of the ID change.
  Review Change Logs: Check the change logs or history for the supplier data to understand why the ID was replaced and to ensure that the change was legitimate.
