# Save a claim Coverage B task

Commits pending edits and delegates to the inherited rule-validated persistence path.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Operation ID** | OP-10 |
| **Trigger** | Caller calls `Save`/`SaveChild` |
| **Inputs** | Dirty task instance |
| **Outputs** | Persisted task |
| **Primary components** | `clsClaimTask.Save`/`SaveChild`, `clsCoverageBTask.Save`/`SaveChild` |
| **Entry point** | `SAIF.Business.Tasks.Claim/clsClaimTask.vb`, `SAIF.Business.Tasks.Claim/clsCoverageBTask.vb` |

## Steps

1. `ApplyEdit()` — commit the in-memory edit level so pending changes become permanent on the object.
2. Delegate to `MyBase.Save` / `MyBase.SaveChild`.

   > **Origin**: Rule validation and the inherited insert/update/delete stored-procedure path are implemented in [SAIF.Business.Tasks](../../saif-business-tasks/overview.md) (`pk82036_task`).

	Start([Save called]) --> S1[ApplyEdit]
	S1 --> S2[MyBase.Save / SaveChild]
	S2 --> EndOk(["Task persisted via<br>pk82036_task"])
```

## Failure and edge-case behavior
- Rule validation failures block the save; behavior is inherited from `SAIF.Business.Tasks`.
