The Company expects to recognize $70.1 million of this RPO during the next 12 months, $14.0 million over the subsequent 12 months and the remaining $5.3 million thereafter.

Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract

Sales commissions earned mainly by the Company’s sales agents are considered incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, as the Company expects the benefit of those commissions to be longer than one year. The majority of the sales commissions are not subject to capitalization, as the commission expense is recognized as the related revenue is recognized. Sales commissions for initial contracts related to the service type warranty are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected customer relationship period if the Company expects to recover those costs. Amortization expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the deferred commission amounted to $3.7 million and $3.1 million respectively.
