  The SAP error message EAN_UCC117 indicates that there is an issue with the check digit of a Global Location Number (GLN). This error typically arises when the GLN provided does not match the expected format or the calculated check digit does not correspond to the last digit of the GLN.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect GLN Format: The GLN may not be in the correct format, which consists of 13 digits.
  Check Digit Calculation Error: The check digit (the last digit of the GLN) is calculated using a specific algorithm (usually the Modulo 10 algorithm). If the check digit does not match the calculated value, this error will occur.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been a typographical error when entering the GLN.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify the GLN: Check the GLN for accuracy. Ensure that it is a 13-digit number and that all digits are entered correctly.
  Recalculate the Check Digit: Use the Modulo 10 algorithm to recalculate the check digit for the GLN. The steps are as follows:
  
  Multiply each digit by a weight (alternating weights of 1 and 3).
  Sum the results.
  Calculate the check digit based on the total sum.
  
  
  Correct the GLN: If the check digit is incorrect, replace the GLN with the correct one provided in the error message (the correct GLN would be &2).
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the GLN or the check digit calculation, refer to the relevant documentation or guidelines for GLN formatting and validation.
  
  Related Information:
  
  GLN: The Global Location Number is a unique identifier for locations and is part of the GS1 system.
  Check Digit Calculation: The check digit is calculated using the following steps:
  
  Starting from the rightmost digit (the check digit), assign weights of 1 and 3 alternately to each digit.
  Sum all the weighted values.
  The check digit is the amount needed to round the total up to the nearest multiple of 10.
  
  
  SAP Documentation: For more detailed information, refer to SAP's official documentation or support resources related to EAN/UCC and GLN handling.
