Type 3 applies to purchase transactions made outside the InvoiceNow network. This includes transactions where the GST-registered supplier is not connected to InvoiceNow, as well as eligible Petty Cash Purchase (PCP) transactions that may be aggregated for submission.

For a non-Peppol purchase transaction, the GST-registered customer receives a paper or PDF invoice from the supplier and records the transaction in the Million Accounting System. A Solution-extracted invoice is then sent through the customer's Access Point to IRAS.

Transmission:

Supplier → PDF / Paper Invoice → Customer

Recorded Purchase Transaction → Customer's Access Point → IRAS
