  The SAP error message:
  WGDS_PROCESS014: Pricat header could not be created please give a valid EAN
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the processing of a Pricat (Price Catalog) message in SAP, typically in the SAP Supplier Collaboration or SAP Vendor Collaboration scenarios. The system is unable to create the Pricat header because the EAN (European Article Number) provided in the message is either missing, invalid, or not conforming to the expected format.
  EAN is a crucial identifier for products in catalog messages, and if it is not valid or missing, the system cannot proceed with creating the Pricat header.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the EAN in the Pricat message:
  
  Verify that the EAN (usually a 13-digit GTIN) is present in the incoming Pricat message.
  Ensure the EAN is correctly formatted and valid according to GS1 standards.
  Confirm that the EAN is not empty or filled with placeholder values (e.g., all zeros).
