# Invoice batch payments

Batch payments are derived from payment receipt CFDIs, also known as type `P` invoices. A batch payment groups one or more [invoice payments](/api-reference/ds-mx-sat-invoice-payments) into the payment transaction reported by SAT.

Use batch payments when you need payment-method, currency, bank, operation-number, or transaction-level information. Use invoice payments when you need the amount applied to a specific deferred invoice.

Batch payments are extracted from invoice data. To retrieve them, run an [`invoice` extraction](/resources/datasources/sat/invoices#extracting-invoice-data) for the entity and include payment receipt CFDIs by keeping type `P` invoices in the extraction options.
