New Features in G5, version 22.9
Here's a summary of the major new features in version 22.9 of Monitor G5, broken down by our teams that specialize in developing each area of the system. We hope you'll find it useful. For more information on all new development and changes in this version, read the Changelog at monitorerp.com/changelogs, where you can also watch a video rundown of the major new features in this version.
There is now a list type called "Total by part code". This provides a summary per part code of all orders that match the search. This can give an indication of the ranges of parts with the greatest difference between planned and reported costs. You can also compare costs against price lists and see the cost margin per part code.
The costs are displayed in total for all orders, and the columns for planned costs are recalculated to show the planned cost for reported quantity – to make it easier to compare planned and reported costs.
In the System settings it's now possible to deactivate the warning in BOM which is shown when two rows have the same part number.
In the next sprint, we'll be focusing on following development:
We've added a new document variant for Pick list – Ready for delivery as standard. This variant is best used with the comprehensive delivery note.
In the pick list header, we've added delivery note number, customer number, and delivery date.
At the bottom of the pick list, the document summarizes the packaging material needed for the parts on the pick list.
In backstage of the Blanket order list – Sales and Blanket order list – Purchase procedures there are new fields available for the list type Blanket order – Detailed. It is now possible to see Amount and Remaining amount of the blanket order in these lists.
This was a suggestion from our users.
We're currently working on adding the ability to reserve an invoice number on a proforma invoice. This is useful when carrying out export to other countries that require the proforma invoice to have the same invoice number as the commercial invoice. We'll also add the possibility to create proforma from rows on a pick list.
We also hope to add the Aftermarket serial number to the Register quote procedure, and the possibility to enter a Delivery date in the customer order header.
In 22.9 we’ve continued development relating to the Return order function, which was featured in length in our New Features in G5 film for version 22.8.
To begin with, it’s now possible to print proforma invoices for return orders. In addition, you can now print transport labels (A4, A5, and labels) for return orders to be returned to the supplier.
A new view that displays the current purchase orders has been added in the BI – Purchase procedure. This is a first step to improving the features in Monitor BI. The view shows both regular purchase orders and subcontract purchases.
In the folded view "Material enough for", the fictive parts were not visible. We've now added a filter to show/hide the fictive parts.
We've added two new procedures named "Print statement" (in both the Accounts receivable and Accounts payable menu).
For Print statement on the sales side we've moved two existing list types to this new procedure. The lists Statement and Balance per customer have been moved from the Print payment reminder procedure. We've also made some adjustments to the Balance per customer document.
On the Purchase side, we've developed the document for Balance per supplier, which could be printed or sent via e-mail. Default value for printing method could be set on supplier in Printouts. To be able to set an e-mail address for this document, we've added "Statement" as a "Recipient of" in the Communication box in the supplier register.
An example of balance per supplier:
In the procedures for registering payments we've added support for registering on account payments with negative amounts. This can, for instance, be useful if a customer has made a deduction during payment of an invoice (for instance, due to a complaint). By registering a negative on account amount, a "positive" record will be created in the ledgers, for example, to settle against a credit note.
In the next sprint, we'll be focusing on following development:
We now offer a limited of version of Monitor G5 called "Accounting plus". Accounting plus consists of the Accounting module in addition to some other useful procedures from other modules. This is a perfect option for companies that don't carry out manufacturing, such as real estate management or financial companies.

You can now use the new list type "Resulting user rights" to view and filter users resulting rights. This is useful to get a view of which users having access to a certain part of Monitor.
