SUS BP change error: No vendor data update is required

Hi,

We are using MM-SUS scenario with SRM5.0 (SP 13), PI7.0 and R/3 4.7c. I am getting error "No vendor data update is required" when trying to change the BP data from "Comapny data" scetion on SUS portal. The reason for this error is same email address maintained for multiple BPs. Now i have maintained the unique email addresses for each BP but still the same erro is coming. I have done following analysis on Development and Production system and the results are different in terms of the result shown by FM BAPI_BUPA_SEARCH which is checking uniqueness of email address.

In Dev when i maintain same email address in vendor master (BP 204) and user (BP 205) then the result of FM is:

PARTNER ADDRESSGUID Address type COMPANY_PA

204 4B5F6C356F6701E8E10080000A640058 1

205 4B666289BF9E01E7E10080000A640058 2

Here Address GUID is different and Address type is 1 (Organisation) for vendor master and 2 (person) for user. The email address of the user is changed through "Own data" section of SUS portal. After making the unique email the error is no more there when changing the BP data from portal "Company data" section.

In Production when same email was maintained in vendor master (BP 25) and user (BP 41) then the result of FM is:

PARTNER ADDRESSGUID Address type COMPANY_PA

25 4B554812356B016DE10080000AB41E09 1

41 4B554812356B016DE10080000AB41E09 3 25

41 4B56DC65025C00C4E10080000AB41E09 2

As a difference to development, here there are 3 entries. The additional entry has the same Address GUID of vendor master and the address type is 3 (Contact person). This additional entry is the basic cause of the problem beacuse of which inspite of maintaining unique email address the error is still coming.

Can anyone provide some guidance.
