  The SAP error message SRT_WSP190 typically indicates an issue related to the configuration of a web service in the SAP system, specifically concerning the client specification in the context of a web service proxy.
  Cause:
  The error message "Client: IF not specified or specified generically for &1" suggests that the web service interface (IF) is either not specified correctly or is defined in a generic manner that does not allow the system to determine the appropriate client context for the web service call. This can occur due to:

  Define Client in Service Consumer:
  
  If you are using a service consumer, ensure that the client is defined correctly in the consumer configuration.

  Review Service Interface:
