# clsPaymentBatchNumber

Payment batch number business object for ACH batch runs; exposes batch number retrieval via `Criteria.RetrieveSqlStatement` rather than the standard `RetrieveSQL` property.*

## Purpose
- Standard BOF business object in `SAIF.Business.Payment.EFT`.*

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.Payment.EFT`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.BOF.Business.Payment.EFT` (NuGet)
- Implements: `IBusinessCriteria`
- Inherits: `clsBusinessBase` / `clsBusinessCollectionBase` (SAIF.BOF.Framework)*
## Behavioral notes
- Uses supplementary `Criteria.RetrieveSqlStatement` path; `clsPaymentBatchNumberCollection.GetPaymentBatchNumbers()` loads `PAYMENT_BATCH_NUMBER` directly.*

> **Note:** Statements marked with `*` were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements marked with `**` could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
