  The SAP error message "5@086 Profile for role &1 is inconsistent and was not imported" typically indicates that there is an inconsistency in the profile associated with a specific role in the SAP system. This error can occur during the import of roles or profiles, particularly when using transaction codes like PFCG (Profile Generator) or during transport requests.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Role Definition: The role definition may have been changed or corrupted, leading to inconsistencies in the profile.
  Missing Authorizations: The role may reference authorizations that are missing or not properly defined.
  Transport Issues: If the role was transported from one system to another, there may have been issues during the transport process that caused the profile to become inconsistent.
  Database Issues: There could be underlying database issues that affect the integrity of the role and its associated profiles.
