How to record advance tuition payments to reduce monthly payments?

Question:

I have a family that has made a couple of payments in advance. They have paid $1,500 in order to reduce their monthly payments by $150 per month (we have a 10-month payment cycle). Can you recommend a way for me to apply the 2 advance payments evenly over the 10-month payment period rather than to the earliest payments? 

Answer:

If they are planning to pay $640 each month from May to Feb, it may be best to set the due amount for May 1st payment to be $2140 and allocate the $1500 against it. This way, the remaining amount on May first and every month after will be $640 ($150 less per month).
