Important Notes

Handling Multiple CPF Files
If you are submitting more than one CPF files in a month or day, ensure you update the Advice Code each time before generating a new file (e.g., 01, 02, 03, etc.). This is necessary for the CPF Board to identify the different files that you have submitted.

Combined CPF File for Multiple Payroll Runs
If you've completed multiple payroll runs in the same month and wish to submit a single, consolidated CPF file, go to the Month title section, select Actions, and click Generate CPF File. This will produce a combined CPF file that reflects all payroll runs for the month.
