Profit dataset adds Accrual and Recorded methodology alternatives

Following the migration to accrual, some customers asked to roll back to the previous recorded/posted based method. While we want to keep the new default to accrual, we are releasing alternative tables to provide both methodologies.

Profit methods:

• Accrual Profit / Order Date / Profit is recognized when the customer places the order. Best for forecasting and tracking business activity. This is our new default.
• Posted or Recorded Profit / Posted Date / Profit is recognized when Amazon officially posts the transaction to your ledger. This reflects Amazon's internal accounting timeline. This was our previous default.
• Cash Profit / Disbursement Date / Profit is recognized when funds are actually transferred to your bank account. We do not support this method.

Changes:

• No breaking change to current behavior.
• Changes to existing models:
  • FINANCE_PROFIT_LEDGER: Addition of accrual_date and recorded_date (each reflecting events date depending on the method type). posted_date remains as an alias of accrual_date.
  • FINANCE_PROFIT: Addition of date_day (alias of posted_date).
  • FINANCE_PROFIT_METRICS: Addition of date_day (alias of posted_date).
• New models:
  • FINANCE_PROFIT_RECORDED_BASIS: Daily profit aggregated on recorded date.
  • FINANCE_PROFIT_METRICS_RECORDED_BASIS: Daily profit aggregated on recorded date.

With this change, the ledger exposes both dates, and we provide pre-aggregated profit analysis models for each method.
