  The SAP error message RSO_RES_CONVMSGS050 indicates that there is an issue with the InfoObject being used in a context where it is expected to be of type "attribute," but it is not. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when working with data modeling, transformations, or queries.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect InfoObject Type: The InfoObject specified in the error message is not defined as an attribute InfoObject. It may be a key figure or a different type of InfoObject.
  Modeling Error: There may be a mistake in the data model where an InfoObject is being used in a context that requires it to be an attribute.

  Adjust Transformations: If the error occurs during data loading, check the transformation rules. Ensure that the mapping of fields is correct and that you are not trying to map a non-attribute InfoObject to an attribute field.
