STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. As a part of implementation some of the charges have unit price as negative value. In such cases the Bill is generated with a negative amount, which is eventually refunded to the end customer.
2.The unit price is held in Bill Factors, however when they tried to add a new effective dated value on a TEST bill factor, they are getting "The server has encountered a problem. Your request cannot be processed Please try again".
