  The SAP error message DTINF086: Import not possible on this system typically indicates that there is an issue with the import process of data or objects in the SAP system. This error can occur in various contexts, such as during transport requests, data imports, or when trying to execute certain transactions.
  Causes:
  
  System Configuration: The system may not be configured to allow imports from the source system. This could be due to settings in the transport management system (TMS) or restrictions on the client.
  Transport Directory Issues: There may be issues with the transport directory or the transport files themselves, such as missing files or incorrect paths.
  Client Settings: The client may be set to a mode that does not allow imports, such as a test or development client that is not configured for transport.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting the import may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the import operation.
