Please be patient and wait until someone who can help with this comes along. We only have so many people and are here around our other lives. This is not only a more advanced topic (which I don't do), but that type of contract accounting may be something that's done differently where you are (and I'm not where you are). So you'll have to wait for someone who knows this, assuming they come.
