According to the accounting standards, you can combine two or more contracts and treat them as a single contract if ANY of these three conditions are met They are entered into at or near the same time and negotiated as a package with a single commercial objective The amount paid in one contract depends on the prior performance of the other contract The goods and services promised form a single performance obligation If none of these apply, they stay separate, and you will just have to do the accounting twice with separate thought processes for each!
