Automatic supplier invoices · RCTI
Supplier invoices
made for you.
For eligible suppliers, AltScrap automatically prepares the tax invoice (RCTI) from your purchase details. You don’t have to wait for the supplier to send an invoice.
Sync the purchase to MYOB or Xero as a supplier bill, without entering the scrap, weight and price again.
RCTIs are for eligible GST-registered suppliers with an agreed RCTI arrangement. Public sellers receive a purchase receipt.

No card needed to start. No per-seat charges.
Before your first live purchase, complete business details, set material prices and add your team. Connect your accounting app and check your seller requirements.
Does every seller need an RCTI?
No. Individual sellers receive a purchase receipt. For eligible business suppliers, AltScrap prepares an RCTI from the purchase details. Your yard and the supplier must have ABNs and be registered for GST, GST must apply to the purchase, and an RCTI agreement must be in place.
What counts as a store?
A physical buying site with its own address, hours and price list. Two yards are two stores; a second scale at the same yard is not another store.
What happens after the trial?
Subscribe in Billing to continue. If you do nothing, new purchases pause; records, reports and settings remain available. Monthly subscriptions are billed by card through Stripe.
How do I send the seller a receipt?
Open the purchase to email the receipt or send a receipt link to the seller’s phone by SMS. Their email address or a valid phone number needs to be on file.
Can I see it without creating an account?
Explore the app screens above to see seller details, weights, prices and receipt options. Start a 30-day free trial when you’re ready to try AltScrap with your team.
