This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with InfoCubes and queries.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Characteristic: The characteristic specified in the error message is not included in the InfoCube definition.

  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model, such as modifications to the InfoCube or the characteristics it contains, may lead to this error if the query has not been updated accordingly.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoCube was transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies in the data model.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSSBR082 error, you can take the following steps:
