Hello,,

If the Contract period is more than one year then show it under "Long Term Group" or else "Short Term"

Security deposit is not treated as an Account Receivable.  It's treatment as a Current Asset or Long Term Asset in the Balance Sheet depends on whether this is receivable within 1 year from the date of Balance Sheet or not.  If it is receivable within 1 year, then treat this as a Current Asset otherwise Long Term Asset.

Journal entry is      Security Deposit A/c           Dr.
