  The SAP error message /AIF/GENERATORS037 indicating "Workbench request must be specified" typically occurs in the context of the Application Interface Framework (AIF) when you are trying to generate or activate an interface or configuration without specifying a transport request.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Transport Request: When you attempt to generate or activate an AIF interface, the system requires a transport request to be specified. If you haven't created or selected a transport request, this error will be triggered.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the AIF might not be set up correctly, leading to the system not recognizing a valid transport request.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Specify a Transport Request:
  
  When you are in the AIF interface configuration screen, look for an option to specify or create a transport request.
  If you do not have an existing transport request, create a new one by using transaction code SE09 or SE10.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the AIF configuration is correctly set up. Go through the settings to confirm that all required fields are filled out properly.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that your user account has the necessary authorizations to create and manage transport requests. You may need to contact your SAP Basis or security team to ensure you have the appropriate roles assigned.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Action:
  
  After specifying a transport request, try to generate or activate the AIF interface again.
