Hold Inquiry Screens
Payee Warrants on Hold and Released (PYWTHB)

The PYWTHB screen displays a summary of a payee’s warrants on hold and held warrants that have been released or offset, combining a payee’s warrants that display on the Payee Warrants on Hold (PYWTHD) and Payee Held Warrants Released (PYWTHR) screens. The screen displays held and released warrants for the current and three prior fiscal years.

The warrants on hold are sorted to the top and are displayed by payment issue date, with the most recent date first. Below warrants on hold, the held warrants released are displayed with a release date and sorted by payment issue date, with the most recent date first.

Each issuing agency can view only the warrants on hold and held warrants released that are issued by that agency. If the payment is confidential, only that agency’s users with the appropriate security can view the warrant amount.

PYWTHB automatically calculates the check digit for a TIN.
