We discuss the Monge problem for under-determined systems of ordinary differential equations with an arbitrary degree of freedom and give a sufficient condition, in terms of truncated multi-flag systems, for the Monge property to hold. This condition extends in a natural way the Cartan criterion valid for systems with one degree of freedom.
