  The SAP error message RSAU604 indicates that there is an issue with a basic characteristic in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence). Specifically, it means that the object version of the basic characteristic is not active. This can occur when the characteristic has been changed or modified, and the new version has not been activated.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Version: The basic characteristic has been modified, and the new version has not been activated.
