TINS Inquiry Web-Based Training

Lesson 4: Additional Inquiry Screens

Payee Maintenance History (PMTHIS)

PMTHIS displays all maintenance transactions for a TIN in chronological order. However, an annual purge of PMTHIS records occurs around Sept. 1. For details about the PMTHIS purge, see Payee Maintenance History Purge Process on TexPayment Resource. 

The PMTHIS screen can be used to determine:

  • The date a transaction processed.
  • The transaction type.
  • Mail code updates.
  • The agency that processed the transaction.
  • The method used to process the transaction.
  • The user ID of the user who processed an online transaction. 
  • Exception (error) codes for a batch transaction that failed to process.

Accessing PMTHIS 

There are two ways to access PMTHIS:

  • Select PMTHIS from the menu on INQMEN (ENTER OPTION: B) and press Enter.
    • Enter the 10- or 11-digit number in the TIN subfield and press Enter to display transactions by the default processed date order.
    • Enter the 10- or 11-digit number in the TIN subfield and a 1 in the SORTCODE subfield to display transactions by type and press Enter.
      or
  • Enter PMTHIS on Line 1 on any TINS screen.
    • To display records by processed date:
      • Enter a 10-digit number: PMTHIS.1XXXXXXXXX and press Enter.
        or
      • Enter the 11-digit TIN: PMTHIS.1XXXXXXXXX6 and press Enter.
    • To display transactions by type:
      • Enter a 10-digit number: PMTHIS.1XXXXXXXXX(space).1 and press Enter.
      • Enter the 11-digit TIN: PMTHIS.1XXXXXXXXX6.1 and press Enter.
