Issue is that, as part of a first usage activation business scenario, all the purchased product & discount start dates are updated with the activation dates. But, when the plan has one time (purchase) fee discount, the opcode PCM_OP_SUBSCRIPTION_SET_DISCOUNTINFO is throwing below error:

Steps:

1. create a new account, add a service with product (activated with current date)

4. add a new service and purchase a product (purchase fees event) and discount (purchase fees event) with future start date

6. call PCM_OP_SUBSCRIPTION_SET_DISCOUNTINFO to set the purchase start date to current pvt, this is throwing the error
