Issue is that there is a difference in calculating the discount events for in-advance charges. It is observed that the cycle considered for discount calculation is not in sync with that of product charge calculated.

Scenario 1:

• Customer created on 25th Oct
• MRC product [3 months in advance] . MRC= monthly recurring charges
• MRC 50% discount valid for 1 month
• The cycle considered for product charge:
  Charge event-1 : 25 Oct - 01 Nov
  Charge event-2 : 01 Nov - 01 Feb
• The cycle considered for discount charge:
• Expected:
  • Discount event-1 : 25 Oct - 01 Nov
  • Discount event-2 : 01 Nov - 25 Nov
• Actual:
  • Discount event-1 : 25 Oct - 01 Jan

Scenario 2:

• Customer created on 25th Oct
• MRC product[3 months in advance]
• MRC 50% discount valid for 3 months
• The cycle considered for product charge:
  Charge event-1 : 25 Oct - 01 Nov
  Charge event-2 : 01 Nov - 01 Feb
• The cycle considered for discount charge:
• Expected:
  • Discount event-1 : 25 Oct - 01 Nov
  • Discount event-2 : 01 Nov - 25 Jan
• Actual:
  • Discount event-1 : 25 Oct - 01 Jan
  • Discount event-2 : 01 Jan - 25 Jan

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a plan having product P1 with 2 rate_plans.
   1. ->rate_plan_1 with 1 month inadvance charge.
   2. ->rate_plan_2 with 3 months inadvance charge.
2. Create a discount D1.
3. Move the pvt to 01010000
4. Create account A and purchase product P1 for which rate_plan_1(3 month advance) should be applicable
5. Move the pvt to 01250000
6. Purchase discount D1 for 15 days (say 25-Jan to Feb-8th)
