What are Warranty Coverage Reasons?

Warranty Coverage Reasons are used to denote determine whether or not a physical good Physical Good under warranty Warranty will be replaced with or without charge.
i.e. they provide reasoning on a physical good's replacements which justifies the physical good coverage by its related Warranty.
Multiple Coverage Reasons can be set up and be related to multiple Warranty Policies.

NoteAllowed Coverage reasons are used when setting up Warranty Policies and later on used when a physical good under warranty needs to be replaced.
On selecting a coverage reason (either via Swap Subscription Installed Item Jobs or Service Requests), the system will automatically decide if the good is covered by the warranty or not, based on the selected coverage reason.
