This error typically arises when the system is unable to find the required master data attributes table for a specific characteristic, which is essential for processing queries or reports.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Master Data Table: The master data attributes table for the specified characteristic does not exist in the database. This can happen if the characteristic was not properly activated or if the master data was not loaded.
  Incorrect Configuration: The characteristic may not be correctly configured in the InfoObject settings, leading to the absence of the associated master data table.
  Transport Issues: If the characteristic was transported from one system to another, the transport might not have included the necessary master data tables.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model or InfoObjects may have led to inconsistencies or missing tables.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Configuration:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1) and verify the settings for the characteristic. Ensure that the master data attributes are correctly defined.
