  The SAP error message ACMTOOL028 typically relates to the Data Consistency Check (DCC) in the context of authorization management. This message indicates that there are inconsistencies in the authorization data, specifically regarding derived roles and aggregates. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistencies in Authorization Data: The system has detected that the derived roles or aggregates are not consistent with the underlying data. This can happen due to changes in the underlying authorization objects or roles that have not been properly propagated to the derived roles or aggregates.
  Changes in Role Definitions: If roles have been modified, deleted, or if there are changes in the authorization objects, it can lead to inconsistencies.
  Transport Issues: If roles or authorizations were transported between systems (e.g., from development to production), inconsistencies may arise if the transport was not executed correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Regenerate DCL Sources: The message prompts you to regenerate the DCL (Dynamic Authorization Control Layer) sources. This is often the recommended action. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., PFCG for role maintenance).
  Selecting the roles or aggregates indicated in the message.
  Using the option to regenerate the DCL sources.
  
  
  
  Check for Changes: Review any recent changes made to roles or authorization objects. Ensure that all changes have been properly reflected in the derived roles and aggregates.
  
  
  Consistency Check: Run a consistency check for roles and authorizations. This can help identify any other inconsistencies that may need to be addressed.
  
  
  Transport Management: If the issue is related to transport, ensure that all necessary objects have been transported correctly and that there are no missing dependencies.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to authorization management and DCL for specific guidance on handling this error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PFCG (Role Maintenance), SU01 (User Maintenance), and SUIM (User Information System) for managing roles and authorizations.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to ACMTOOL028 or authorization inconsistencies.
  Authorization Management: Understanding the principles of SAP authorization management, including roles, profiles, and authorization objects, can help in troubleshooting and resolving issues.
