Enable Point-in-Time Snapshot for Trigger Node Availability by Date V2 Snapshot

The current Trigger Node Availability by Date V2 Snapshot capability generates a snapshot of inventory availability when a job is submitted. While this is useful for obtaining the current state, it does not support generating a point-in-time (historical) snapshot of availability.

A point-in-time snapshot is essential for many enterprise use cases, including inventory reconciliation, financial audits, regulatory compliance, operational investigations, and sharing consistent inventory data with downstream systems. Without this capability, customers are forced to build and maintain external data stores or custom snapshot services to preserve historical inventory states. These bespoke solutions increase implementation effort, operational complexity, infrastructure costs, and overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

With Supply Audit already maintaining the historical inventory events required to reconstruct inventory positions, the platform is well positioned to provide this capability natively. Customers should be able to request availability as it existed at a specified timestamp, without needing to implement additional infrastructure
