Workitem requested start

[Michael Pokraka]

So... jsut set it to 8 minutes!
On a more serious note, your deadline granularity is determined by the scheduling of the monitor job SWWDHEX. If it runs ad hoc - i.e. when a deadline is due, then you'd be as accurate as your SAP scheduler can be - i.e. you may have a few seconds delay, or perhaps more f no bg processes are available.
If it's scheduled periodically - e.g. every 5 minutes, then you can only be accurate to witin 5 minutes. If you have too many deadlines (as this type of sceanrio might suggest), then the first option becomes unfeasible as you may end up scheduling too many jobs - which may result in the minutes' delay you see - and you should rather go with periodic scheduling anyway.
