# Payments API response improvements

In the payments API response, we have introduced two new fields in the `rppsDisbursement` object.

| Field         | Description                                                                         |
| :------------ | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `traceNumber` | Payment trace number. This value is used to uniquely identify a payment in a batch. |
| `batchNumber` | Payment batch number                                                                |

In addition, we have introduced a new `disbursementStatus` field in the response to provide the payment disbursement status at each stage of the payment.

See [POST /v3/payments](https://developer.bill.com/reference/createpayment) in the API reference for more information.
