Today, forward contracts can be for any commodity, in any amount, and delivered at any time. Due to the customization of these products they are traded over-the-counter (OTC) or off-exchange. These types of contracts are not centrally cleared and therefore have a higher rate of default risk.
Under Georgia law, for a contract to be valid, there must be an offer, acceptance, consideration, and mutual assent. See O.C.G.A. § 13-3-1. In the context of email communications, an offer can be made through an email, or contemporaneous emails, containing terms of a proposed agreement.

Record a forward contract on the contract date on the balance sheet from the seller's perspective. On the liability side of the equation, you would credit the Asset Obligation for the spot rate. Then, on the asset side of the equation, you would debit the Asset Receivable for the forward rate.
