Payee Inquiry Screens
Payee Voucher History (PVOUIN)

The PVOUIN screen displays voucher information by mail code. The screen is used to review the payment or transaction voucher (document) processed on the TIN, such as the processing date of the voucher and the agency that initiated the voucher. The screen displays up to the most recent 16 vouchers posted per mail code.

PVOUIN automatically calculates the check digit for a TIN.

Note: Not all vouchers (documents) represent a payment was issued to the TIN/mail code. Some vouchers may include expenditure transfers, reimbursements, journal and deposit vouchers.
