The CPF APEX integration streamlines the process of submitting CPF contributions directly to the CPF Board from within the payroll platform. By utilizing CPF APEX APIs, businesses can ensure that their submissions are accurate, compliant, and efficiently processed. This feature reduces administrative burdens while maintaining the integrity and security of CPF filings.

Admins can initiate, review, and submit CPF contributions directly from the payroll platform after finalizing a pay run. This feature also allows re-lodgement, providing flexibility while ensuring compliance with CPF Board regulations.

Creating a CPF submission

Once a pay run has been finalized, the Lodge Pay Run with CPF button will appear, allowing you to initiate CPF electronic submissions.

If the Lodge Pay Run with CPF button is not visible, you can verify that the functionality is enabled by following this article: Enable CPF electronic filing for your organisation.

To create a CPF submission, click the Lodge Pay Run with CPF button. You will be redirected to the CPF submission page, where you can review and complete the submission process.

Re-lodging a CPF submission

Re-lodgement of CPF submissions is possible when necessary. For instance, if the payment method for a CPF submission payment method is PayNow, a re-lodgement may be required in scenarios where an admin unlocks and updates the pay run's values and re-finalises the pay run before processing any payment file.

Due to the current technical limitations of CPF APEX APIs, the following actions are not permitted:

Deleting successful submitted CPF submissions from the payroll platform.
Deleting successful CPF submissions using the PayNow payment method within the payroll platform. If changes are needed, please use the re-lodge functionality.

Deleting successful CPF submissions made via Direct Debit or MEPS. These deletions must be managed directly within CPF Board’s portal. The payroll platform restricts such deletions to maintain data integrity and security. If necessary, utilise the re-lodge functionality within the pay run.
