If your company is submitting SOCSO + SKBBK contributions, you must first configure the correct APS Number in the system. This ensures the exported SOCSO Borang 8A text file is generated with the required information for successful submission to the PERKESO portal.
Follow the steps below to configure the APS Number and generate the SOCSO submission file. This guide also includes instructions for scenarios where EIS amounts need to be excluded from the generated file.
Step 1: Open Bank Settings
Go to Settings.
Select Bank Settings.
Click Addresses & Account No.
Step 2: Select SOCSO
Click View List.
Select SOCSO from the list.
Step 3: Configure the APS Number
Under Your Company Registered Info, locate the APS Number field.
Select the appropriate APS Number.
Save the changes if prompted.
Step 4: Generate the SOCSO Submission File
After configuring the APS number, you can generate the SOCSO text file for submission.
Go to Reports.
Select Statutory Reports.
Click SOCSO.
Select SOCSO Borang 8A (Contri.).
Click Export File to generate the text (.txt) file.
Once the text file has been generated successfully, upload it to the PERKESO portal to complete your SOCSO + SKBBK submission.
Step 5: Generating a PERKESO APS File Excluding EIS Amounts
Go to Personnel > EIS Employee Setting.
Untick the option Contribute to EIS for all employees.
Click Update to save the changes.
Process payroll as usual.
Generate the SOCSO (APS 136) text file by following the general steps above.
Return to Personnel > EIS Employee Setting.
Tick the option Contribute to EIS for all employees to restore the EIS settings.
Click Update and process payroll again to ensure EIS contributions are included in future runs.
This workflow ensures that EIS amounts are excluded from the generated file without requiring manual edits for each employee.
