Incorrect char value used while billing

Char Type used at Calc. rule, is not considering the char value, which is effective from Bill segment start date. 

Steps to reproduce:

1. While billing, system considers the effective Char value at SP for the bill segment start date.
Char value used at Bill factor: MSNPU
Char value used at calculation rule: TRNFU
Rate:

2. Bill segment period: 09-11-2017 - 10-11-2017
Start date: 09-12-2017
Scenario 1:
Both SP chars effective from 09-11-2017

3. Calculations:
MSNPU char value – 2 => $28.70
28.70*2 = $57.40

Passed
4. Scenario 2:
MSNPU (Bill Factor char) effective from 09-12-2017
TRNFU (Calc. Rule char) effective from 09-11-2017

5. Bill segment period: 09-11-2017 - 10-11-2017
Start date: 09-12-2017
Calculations:
MSNPU char value – 2 => $28.70
28.70*2 = $57.40

Passed
6. Scenario 3:
MSNPU (Bill Factor char) effective from 09-11-2017
TRNFU (Calc. Rule char) effective from 09-12-2017

7. Bill segment period: 09-11-2017 - 10-11-2017
Start date: 09-12-2017
Calculations:
MSNPU char value – 2 => $28.70
28.70*2 = $57.40

Failed
Issue:
Char used at Calc. rule (TRNFU char) is not considering the char value, which is effective from Bill segment start date (09-12-2017), which is incorrect. Whereas char used at Bill factor (MSNPU char) is considering the char value, which is effective from Bill segment start date (09-12-2017), which is correct.

8. Scenario 4:
MSNPU (Bill Factor char) effective from 09-12-2017
TRNFU (Calc. Rule char) effective from 09-12-2017

9. Bill segment period: 09-11-2017 - 10-11-2017
Start date: 09-12-2017
Calculations:
MSNPU char value – 2 => $28.70
28.70*2 = $57.40

Failed
Issue:
Char used at Calc. rule (TRNFU char) is not considering the char value, which is effective from Bill segment start date (09-12-2017), which is incorrect.
