  The SAP error message RSQBW051 indicates that there is an issue with time-dependent attributes of a characteristic in a query or data model. This error typically arises when you are trying to use a characteristic that has time-dependent attributes in a way that is not compatible with the data model or query you are working with.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to access or display a characteristic that has time-dependent attributes without properly handling the time dependency.
  The query or report is not set up to manage the time-dependent nature of the characteristic, leading to conflicts in data retrieval.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSQBW051 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Query Design:

  Adjust Data Model:
  
  If necessary, modify the data model to accommodate the time-dependent attributes. This may involve creating new InfoObjects or adjusting existing ones to ensure they align with the time-dependent nature of the data.
