Symptom
- In the Create Correspondence app, attempting to preview a Supplier Account Statement (SAP06) remains stuck in loading and no PDF is displayed.
- Error displayed:
"A technical error has occurred. Please try again later.
HTTP error: 500 Connection Timed Out"
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Create Correspondence app.
- Select Account type: Supplier; Correspondence type: SAP06 (Account Statement); choose the relevant company code and supplier.
- Set a long posting date range (for example, about one year) that includes a large volume of items.
- Click Preview and observe continuous loading; eventually an error appears with HTTP 500 Connection Timed Out and the PDF is not generated.
Cause
The preview request processes a large volume of accounting line items within a single run, exceeding the allowed processing time and resulting in an HTTP 500 Connection Timed Out. This is not caused by configuration or an application error.
Resolution
- Reduce the data volume per preview by shortening the posting date range (for example, split the period into multiple statements).
- Generate and preview the statement for each shorter period separately.
- Repeat for additional shorter periods until the full reporting timeframe is covered.
