2 Prepare Data for BCA CPD Reporting


BCA CPD Reporting uses information from your reporting projects, members, and attendance records. Before submitting a report, review this data and resolve any records marked as Needs attention.

GoBuid checks the data automatically and updates readiness after the source record is corrected.

Before you start

Complete the initial BCA CPD setup before preparing reporting data. Your company reporting information must be complete, and at least one active project must be included as a reporting project.

Only projects included in the reporting scope, and the members and attendance records connected to those projects, are checked for BCA CPD Reporting.

See 1. Set Up BCA CPD Reporting if the setup section is incomplete.

Choose the reporting period and project scope

Go to Compliance > Overview.

Use the reporting period and project scope controls to choose the data you want to review. Reporting periods are monthly. The selected scope applies to the readiness summary, blocker counts, and reporting data shown in Projects, Members, and Attendance.

You can review the current reporting period or an available historical period that has not yet been submitted.

Understand reporting readiness

GoBuid uses two readiness statuses:

  • Ready: No blocking issues were found for the selected project and reporting period.
  • Needs attention: One or more project, member, or attendance records must be corrected before the project can be submitted.

A blocker count represents affected records, not the number of missing fields. For example, one member with several missing fields is counted as one affected member.

Project readiness includes:

  • Project reporting information
  • Members included through the reporting project
  • Attendance records within the selected reporting period

Warnings, when shown, do not block submission. Blocking issues must be resolved before you can continue to Review & Submit.

Review Projects data

Open Compliance > Projects to review the projects included in BCA CPD Reporting.

Use search and the readiness filter to find projects that need attention. For each project, review:

  • Project reference number
  • Main contractor name
  • Main contractor registration number
  • Current readiness status

Select a project marked Needs attention to open its blocker summary. Follow the available action to update the project’s source information.

Adding information to a project does not automatically include it in BCA CPD Reporting. The project must also be added as a reporting project.

Review Members data

Open Compliance > Members to review members connected to your reporting projects.

Each member appears once, even if the member is connected to more than one reporting project. The table shows the member’s affected projects and BCA reporting readiness.

Review:

  • NRIC or FIN status
  • Work Pass Type
  • Employer information
  • Default BCA Trade
  • Affected reporting projects
  • Missing or invalid information

Select a member to open the Member BCA Profile or the available read-only details. After the source profile is updated, return to Compliance to see the refreshed readiness.

For changes to multiple members, see 3. Bulk Update Member BCA Data.

Review Attendance data

Open Compliance > Attendance to review attendance records for the selected reporting period and reporting projects.

Use the available project, period, issue, and trade-source filters to locate records that need attention. Review:

  • Member and attendance date
  • Clock-in and clock-out times
  • Project
  • Actual Trade and its source
  • Reporting issue or readiness

The Actual Trade used for reporting follows this order:

  1. Attendance override
  2. Project assignment override
  3. Member Default BCA Trade

If an attendance override should no longer apply, use Restore default when available. GoBuid then resolves the trade again from the project assignment or member default.

Attendance issues may include a missing clock-out, an unresolved trade, or another record conflict that affects reporting.

Resolve reporting blockers

From Compliance > Overview, select Review blockers to review issues for one project or all reporting projects in the selected scope.

For each blocker:

  1. Open the affected project, member, or attendance record.
  2. Review the listed issues.
  3. Update the source record using the available action.
  4. Return to Compliance.

GoBuid automatically validates affected reporting data after a source record changes. You do not need to run the checks again manually.

If validation is temporarily unavailable, the project is not treated as ready for submission until the latest checks are complete.

If you cannot edit a record

Your Compliance access and source-data editing permissions are separate.

You may be able to view a blocker but not edit the affected project, member, or attendance record. In this case, GoBuid shows the issue in read-only mode. Contact a user who has permission to update the source record.

Sensitive identity information, such as NRIC or FIN, remains masked unless you have the required permission to view it.

What’s next?

When all blocking issues are resolved, the project is marked Ready. You can then review the submission data and submit the report.

See 4. Review and Submit a BCA CPD Report.
