Commercial Blanket Updates

 

Note: This update is part of the AMS360 20R2 release. Navigate to the AMS360 2020 20R2 Release Notes to review other enhancements and fixes that were part of the release.

We have updated the commercial blanket coverage on a policy to meet the current ACORD standard. This includes adding a separate section for creating blanket coverages with blanket numbers, adding an ability to select a blanket number on a location/building in the premise section and have the blanket data auto-populate to that premise. We also updated the AL3 import and export functions. Old style blankets in the premise section remain as legacy information but do not import or export.
