3784390 - Aging Report of Accounts Payable App Shows 'we Cannot Find This File' After Launch - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • When launching the Aging Report for Accounts Payable app from the Fiori launchpad, the app does not open.
  • Error message: "Sorry, we can't find this file. The file you're looking for doesn't exist or you don't have permission to view it."
  • The tile is visible, but opening it fails.
  • In diagnostics, HTTP 403 or HTTP 404 may be observed.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the standard Aging Report for Accounts Payable app.
  2. Observe that the app fails to open and displays: "Sorry, we can't find this file. The file you're looking for doesn't exist or you don't have permission to view it."

Cause

  • The user lacks required SAC-related authorizations for the analytical content (even if the Fiori tile is visible).
  • The embedded analytics/SAP Analytics Cloud story/report object behind the app is missing, damaged, or not accessible.

Resolution

  1. Verify role and catalog assignments in Maintain Business Roles:
    • Ensure the user inherits catalog SAP_FIN_BC_AP_ANALYTICS_PC, either directly or via role SAP_BR_AP_MANAGER.
  2. Compare with a working user:
    • Temporarily assign SAP_BR_AP_MANAGER to the affected user, log off/on, and retest.
    • Compare assigned business catalogs between a working and a non-working user.
    • Determine scope:
    • Test with another user who has SAP_BR_AP_MANAGER.
    • If only certain users fail, treat it as an authorization issue; if all users fail, suspect missing/broken analytical content.
  3. Check analytical content availability:
    • Confirm the embedded SAC/story object for the Aging Report exists and is accessible.
    • Run app diagnostics in the browser:
    • Open Developer Tools (F12) > Network, reproduce the issue, and review calls.
    • HTTP 403 indicates authorization/content access issues; HTTP 404 indicates a missing SAC/story object.
  4. Collect evidence for support if the issue persists for properly authorized users:
    • Capture and export a HAR trace of the failing launch.
    • Provide confirmation that SAP_FIN_BC_AP_ANALYTICS_PC (directly or via SAP_BR_AP_MANAGER) is assigned.
