Awww... I see Zeeshan.. Right now, time is tight and I am unable to make screenshots today. However, if these instructions, don't work, let me know, and I'll make a walkthrough post on how to do it.
To answer your question:
1st: You wanted an effective date and an expiration date or amount. In order to do this, you still need to create a purchase agreement as above and a release order (since this is just a purchase order).
2nd: Using the method above, you can begin adding lines to the purchase order
****Now, here is what is important: just because you want to post invoices against a purchase order, does not mean that the purchase order has to be closed. You need to do what is known as posting a partial invoice.****
Posting a partial invoice will leave the Purchase Order open. The purchase order will stay open for the duration of the purchase agreement or until the final amount of product is attained. The step to be careful of is to make sure that the invoice remainder quantity within the purchase order is above zero.
After creating your release order, this is very similar (not exact) to what you will need to do. Remember that the key is to make sure that purchase order line has a quantity that has not been met by the invoice. Let me know if you need me to do a walkthrough with screenshots.

You can enter and save information for vendor invoices, and you can match invoice lines to product receipt lines. You can also match partial quantities for a line, if you have to.
You can create a vendor invoice based on the product receipt line items that have been received to date, even if all the items for a particular purchase order have not yet been received. You might do this, for example, if a vendor sends one invoice per month that covers all of the deliveries that the vendor ships during that month. Each product receipt represents a partial or complete delivery of the items on the purchase order.
When you post the invoice, the Invoice remainder quantity for each item is updated with the total of the received quantities from the selected product receipts. If both the Invoice remainder quantity and the Deliver remainder quantity for all items on the purchase order are zero, the status of the purchase order changes to Invoiced. If the Invoice remainder quantity is not zero, the status of the purchase order is unchanged and additional invoices can be entered for it.
This procedure assumes that at least one product receipt has been posted for the purchase order. The vendor invoice is based on these product receipts and reflects the quantities from them. The financial information for the invoice is based on the information that is entered when you post the invoice.
