IAT and TINS IAT Indicator Tutorial
Setting the IAT IND
The IAT IND is set up at the payee master level; therefore, it displays on the header of most TINS inquiry screens, even when inquiries are specific to a mail code.
First research to see if your payee is active in TINS or if the TIN must be established. Inquire on the TINS PYADDR and the PYDIST screens to determine if the payee is already in the system and if they currently have direct deposit. Use the 11-digit TIN from the ACH (Direct Deposit) Payment Destination Confirmation form (74-227).
If the TIN on form 74-227 is not found in TINS, the agency should do a new TIN setup and set the IAT IND at that time using the Payee Master Level Setup screen (PMSTUP).
If the TIN is established in the system, the IAT IND will be set by using the Payee Master Level Changes screen (PCHGMS).
Screen examples and basic steps for both types of actions are shown next.
PMSTUP Entry (Set IAT IND for new TIN)
- Enter PMSTUP on the command line and press Enter.
- Populate all the required fields on PMSTUP for the type of payee setup to be processed.
- Enter Y in the IAT IND field. TINS only accepts Y or blank and an error message displays for invalid values.
- Press Enter to proceed with entry on the Payee Mail Code Setup (PMCTUP) screen. For more information, see the Online Data Entry Screens section of TexPayment Resource.
