  The SAP error message RSQBW144, which states "You can use characteristics with standard master data access only," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to use a characteristic in a query or report that is not compatible with the standard master data access.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Non-Standard Master Data: The characteristic you are trying to use may not have standard master data access. This can happen if the characteristic is defined in a way that does not allow it to be used with standard master data queries.
  
  
  Incorrect Query Design: The query might be designed in a way that it is trying to access data that is not available in the standard master data tables.
  
  
  Missing or Incomplete Master Data: The master data for the characteristic may not be fully loaded or may be incomplete, leading to issues when trying to access it.
  
  
  Data Source Issues: The data source used in the query may not be set up correctly to access the required master data.
