Symptoms

In Meter Data Management (MDM) 2.2.0.2.0, a server error occurs when  correcting a start read which is already billed. 

When trying to correct a start read for which a Usage Transaction (UT) already exists, System throws error during creation of UT Correction Activity since start IMD doesnot have any fromDateTime

ERROR

STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Create Master Data for Usage Subscription, Service Point, Device, Device Configuration, Installation Event, and Measuring Component, for a scalar MC.
-- Install Event Date/Time = 01/01/2018 00:00:00 PST
-- Device Cfg Effective Date/Time = 01/01/2018 00:00:00 PST
-- MC has start read for 01/01/2018 00:00:00 PST - 02/02/2018 00:00:00 PST
-- Usage Transaction for 01 -01-2018 to 02-01-2018

2. From the Measuring Component screen. Click icon to edit the finalized scalar measurement.
3. When trying to save, see error "The Server Encountered a problem..."
4. Logs show
ERROR (schema.rules.BusinessObjectStateTransitioner) BO D1-ManualIMDScalar InitialMeasurementData_Id(82504015331319) had status transition error transitioning from BusinessObjectStatusCode='VEE' to BusinessObjectStatusCode='COMPLETE'
