  The SAP error message /SOMO/JOBMON100 &1 started late by &2 minutes at &3 typically indicates that a scheduled job in the SAP system did not start at its expected time and instead started later than planned. This can be due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Resource Contention: The system may be experiencing high load or resource contention, causing delays in job scheduling.
  Job Dependencies: The job may have dependencies on other jobs that were not completed on time, leading to a delayed start.
  System Configuration: Configuration settings in the job scheduling or background processing may not be optimal.
  Database Locks: Locks on database tables or other resources can delay job execution.
  System Performance Issues: General performance issues in the SAP system or underlying infrastructure (e.g., hardware, network) can lead to delays.
  Time Zone Issues: If the system time zone settings are incorrect, it may lead to jobs starting at unexpected times.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Job Logs: Review the job logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the job started late.
  Monitor System Performance: Use transaction codes like ST03N (Workload Analysis) or ST22 (Dump Analysis) to monitor system performance and identify bottlenecks.
  Review Job Dependencies: Check if there are any dependent jobs that are causing delays. Ensure that all prerequisite jobs are completed before the current job is scheduled to start.
  Adjust Scheduling: If the job is consistently starting late, consider adjusting its schedule to a time when system load is lower.
  Optimize Configuration: Review and optimize the configuration settings for background processing and job scheduling.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks that might be affecting job execution.
  Consult Basis Team: If the issue persists, consult your SAP Basis team for further analysis and potential system tuning.
