TINS Warrant Hold Web-Based Training

Lesson 7: Hold Maintenance History and Hold Indicators

Payee Maintenance History (PMTHIS) Screen

PMTHIS provides a history of all TINS transactions and serves as an audit trail for:

  • Payee and mail code setups and changes.
  • Direct deposit setups, changes and deletions.
  • Hold setups, changes and releases.
  • Bankruptcy setups, changes and deletions.
  • System-generated transactions.

PMTHIS provides the following details about a TINS transaction:

  • The date the transaction was processed.
  • The description of the transaction (for example, setup, change, release or deletion).
  • The user ID, agency or statewide system that processed the transaction.
  • The method of submission for the transaction — online or EFT.
  • Exception error codes for transactions submitted electronically.

Accessing PMTHIS

There are two methods of accessing PMTHIS.

Method 1. From the TINS – Inquiry Menu (INQMEN) screen:

  • Enter INQMEN on Line 1 on any TINS screen and select Enter.
  • Enter B (PMTHIS) in the ENTER OPTION field.
  • Enter a 10- or 11-digit TIN for the hold record or bankruptcy record.
  • Select Enter.

Method 2. Enter PMTHIS on Line 1 on any TINS screen.

  • Enter a 10- or 11-digit as follows:
    • PYHOLD.10-digit number (2 + nine-digit SSN/ITIN or 1 + 9-digit EIN)
    • PYHOLD.11-digit TIN
  • Select Enter.

In the example below, the TIN had:

  • Two hold records set up by two different agencies.
  • A payee master and mail setups.
  • Changes and releases to the hold records.
  • A bankruptcy setup, change and deletion generated by TINS when the last hold record was released.
