Create policy coverage

Defines a coverage entry for the specified policy.

A policy coverage entry defines the scope of liability for losses of a particular type at the policy-level. Mulitple coverage entries may be defined for the same policy.

A policy coverage is defined by three required body parameters: lossType, peril, and label.

The required lossType parameter identifies the type of the losses that are covered by this policy coverage. One of Building, Contents, BI (business interruption), or Combined Cvg (combined coverage). Only one coverage entity of each lossType may be defined per policy.

The required peril parameter identifies the peril covered. Although the peril parameter is an object that consists of three attributes (id, code, and name), you only need to specify an id value to set the peril covered.

The required label object maps peril values (e.g. EQ, WS) to lossType values (e.g. Contents, BI). Although the label parameter is an object that consists of three attributes (id, code, and name), you only need to specify an id value.

The required label parameter defines a label that identifies the coverage within the policy.
