Doubt on financed purchases representation

Hi all,

I use to buy some products, let say bottles, and I have a stock account in
gnucash where the security/currency of it are bottles. When I buy some of
them, I register a transaction where I spend money from my banking
account and get bottles in the stock account.

Now I did a financed purchase of 10 bottles that I will pay in 10 months
but I already got all bottles. This transaction will be split in 10, where
I will charge my banking account once a month. And I have already sold all
10 bottles.

If I split the bottles putting each one of the 10 transactions, my stock
account will be negative until the last split come into it.
On the other side if I put all 10 bottles in the first transaction, my
stock account will be ok, but the price of the bottles in this transaction
will be wrong.

How should I represent this purchase?
Suggestions?
Have someone faced something similar?

Regards,
Luiz
