# SAIF.Business.Claim.SupportOrder overview

> **Documentation context:** Packaged Component (NuGet)

SAIF.Business.Claim.SupportOrder is a focused BOF component for child-support-order headers and their claim-to-order links. It uses inline Oracle SQL and BOF criteria classes to load worker-scoped support orders, persist header edits, and lazy-load the linked claims attached to each order.

## Purpose
- Provide BOF entities for support-order headers and claim connections.
- Retrieve support orders by worker and filter to all-claim orders when needed.
- Persist support-order rows and connection rows with optimistic-concurrency checks.

## Responsibilities
- Represent support-order financial, effective-date, and worker fields.
- Load collections of support orders and support-order connections.
- Persist connection rows that attach claims to support orders.
- Surface lazy-loaded child collections for linked claims.

## Key components
- `clsClaimSupportOrder`: models a single support-order header and save lifecycle.
- `clsClaimSupportOrderCollection`: retrieves worker-scoped support-order rows.
- `clsClaimSupportOrderConnection`: models a claim-to-order link row.
- `clsClaimSupportOrderConnectionCollection`: retrieves and manages connections for one support order.
