  EAN cat.&: check digit will be created for EAN & poss.assigned internally
  
  1. Cause of the Error
  
  The message WE233 is an information or warning message (not an error that stops processing) that appears during IDoc processing, specifically when handling EAN (European Article Number) or GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) fields.
  It indicates that the system has detected an EAN number without a valid check digit or with an incorrect check digit.
  SAP automatically calculates and assigns the correct check digit internally for the EAN number.
  The message is triggered because the EAN number received in the IDoc segment is incomplete or the check digit is missing/incorrect, so SAP corrects it to ensure data integrity.
  
  
  2. Explanation
  
  EAN (European Article Number) or GTIN is a barcode standard that includes a check digit for validation.
  The check digit is calculated using a specific algorithm (modulus 10)
