  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:

  Update the email address for the supplier that needs to change. Ensure that each supplier has a unique email address.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  After making changes, validate the data to ensure that there are no other duplicate email addresses in the supplier records.
  You can run reports or use data quality tools to check for duplicates.
  
  
  
  Replication Settings:
