  The SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL080 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of navigational attributes in an Advanced DataStore Object (ADSO). This error typically arises when you attempt to set navigational attributes for a field that is not a characteristic.
  
  Cause:
  The error occurs because navigational attributes can only be assigned to characteristics in the context of an ADSO. If you try to assign a navigational attribute to a non-characteristic field (like a key figure or a calculated field), SAP will throw this error.
