The SAP error message
/SDF/MON010 End time has already passed
typically occurs in the context of monitoring or scheduling jobs in SAP, particularly when dealing with time-sensitive operations. This error indicates that the end time specified for a job or monitoring task is set to a time that has already elapsed, meaning that the system cannot execute the task as scheduled.Cause:
- Incorrect Time Settings: The end time for the job or monitoring task is set to a time that is earlier than the current system time.
- Time Zone Issues: There may be discrepancies between the time zone settings of the SAP system and the time zone of the user or the server.
- Job Rescheduling: If a job was previously scheduled and not executed, and then the end time was not updated, it may lead to this error.
- System Clock Issues: If the system clock is incorrectly set, it may lead to confusion regarding the current time.
Solution:
Check and Update Time Settings:
- Review the scheduled job or monitoring task and ensure that the end time is set to a future time relative to the current system time.
- If necessary, adjust the end time to a valid future time.
Verify Time Zone Settings:
- Ensure that the time zone settings in the SAP system are correctly configured.
- Check the user profile settings to confirm that the time zone matches the expected time zone for job execution.
Reschedule the Job:
- If the job has already passed its scheduled time, you may need to delete the existing job and create a new one with the correct time settings.
Check System Clock:
- Verify that the system clock on the server is set correctly. If there are discrepancies, correct the system time.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
