Symptoms

In a customer's environment,configured a Group Sharing set up in which when a cycle forward event occurs at the member, it will impact the currency charge at owner through shared discounts .

Earned_Start_t and Earned_End_t at the event level are pointing correctly to next cycle (26-JUN to 26-JUL) but the item assignment is wrong .

Expectation is all the charges applied after billing cycle start time should be billed in next bill cycle and not in current cycle .

Steps to reproduce:
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1.Both Group Owner and Member accounts are Non-Payee Accounts .
2.Create Group Owner Account before Bill-Cycle Date . Bill-cycle is on 26th and Account is created on 1st June.
Next Bill Cycle Date for Group Owner - 26th June
3.Create one Member Account on 1st June .
Next Bill Cycle Date for Group Member - 26th June
4.Sponsor charges are applied at the owner account and the /item/sponsor item is created.
5.Move PVT to 26-JUNE-2024 00:00:00 ( BDOM Date )
6.Create Member Account (Group Owner and Paying Parent are not billed yet)
7.Sponsor charges are triggred using group_sharing_discount , but the charges are assigned to the same sponsor item which is created in step-4.
As a result of this during billing, Monthly Recurring Cycle (MRC) charges for two members in the same cycle (26th June).
The charges for the account created after bill-cycle start time should be billed in next cycle i.e, 26thJuly.
