Payee Inquiry Screens
Vendor Payment Information Menu (PAYVEN)

The PAYVEN screen is the starting point for detailed payment inquiry. PAYVEN provides a menu for entry of selected criteria for search of payment information.

PAYVEN combines payment detail from Payee Payment Information (PYWRNT), Prior Fiscal Year Payment Information (PFYWRT) and some Uniform Statewide Accounting System inquiry screens.

  • PAYVEN only displays bills (vendor) and employee travel payments. Payroll and annuity payments cannot be searched through PAYVEN but can be searched on the PYWRNT and PFYWRT screens.
  • For users with governing agency access, PAYVEN will display payments for their agency as well as their dependent agencies if the search criteria entered on the menu matches payments across those agencies.
  • As with PYWRNT and PFYWRT, only the current and three prior fiscal years can be searched on PAYVEN.
  • PAYVEN provides the Confidential Indicator submitted to USAS and should be used to determine the confidentiality of payments before releasing payment information.

PAYVEN automatically calculates the check digit for a TIN.

Sub-Screens PYVEN1, PYVEN2 and PYVEN3

The PAYVEN screen provides access to three sub-screens that cannot be accessed through Line 1 entry.

Sub-Screen Description
Vendor Payment Level Information (PYVEN1) Displays a list of payments based on the criteria entered on PAYVEN
Vendor Document Level Payment Information (PYVEN2) Displays the document level information for a payment number that can be selected on PYVEN1
Vendor Invoice Level Payment Information (PYVEN3) Displays the invoice level information for a document number that can be selected on PYVEN2

Two examples of the PAYVEN search are provided to show the use of the optional search criteria.

Access PAYVEN through the TINS Inquiry Menu (INQMEN) screen or Line 1 Entry.

Steps:

  1. Follow the instructions for the INQMEN Menu

    –OR–

    Enter PAYVEN.(10- or 11-digit TIN) in Line 1 along with the options desired to narrow the search.

    If the TIN is… Then enter… Notes
    EIN-based
    • 1 + nine-digit EIN

      – or –

    • 1 + nine-digit EIN + check digit
    TINS calculates the check digit when a 10-digit TIN is entered.
    Comptroller-assigned 11-digit TIN that begins with 3  
    A 7 TIN for payees who provide an SSN or ITIN
    • 11-digit TIN that begins with 7

    When entering a 2-based TIN that is on file, the inquiry results display the assigned 11-digit 7 TIN.

    Press Enter to display PAYVEN with the TIN information.


  2. MAILCODE (Optional): If desired, enter the three-digit mail code:
    If the inquiry is for… Then…
    All mail codes of a TIN,
    • Leave the MAILCODE field blank if using INQMEN

      OR

    • Use PAYVEN.(10- or 11-digit TIN) for Line 1 entry
    A specific mail code,
    • Fill in the MAILCODE field if using INQMEN

      OR

    • Use PAYVEN.(10- or 11-digit TIN).(three-digit mail code) for Line 1 entry

    Note: The mail code entered will appear on PAYVEN. If you need to search for other mail codes on the TIN, you can backspace over the mail code to broaden the search to all the TIN’s payments.

    Press Enter to display PAYVEN with the TIN information.

    Note: TINS displays the message Modify Criteria or No Payment Detail Found when:
    • No payments have been issued to the payee
    • The payment type is not maintained on PAYVEN (such as state employee or annuity payroll)
    • The volume of payment records exceeds the display capacity
  3. Use the Direction Message Keys to navigate through the screen information.
