Error when synchronizing Contact data

A fix has been made to rectify an error that occurred when synchronizing Supplier Contacts.

When the login id and the email address are changed against a supplier/site user on a satellite system, running a 17.0 version, this is causing an issue when trying to reflect this change on the global system, when running an 18.2 version.

The fix ensures that the email address remains synchronized between satellite portals that are not controlled by IDCS, and the global portal to prevent this issue.
