I don't think anyone would have to keep track of it. All we would need to do is create a sub-forum for uncompleted PTBNL trades and then when they were completed, they get moved into Trades In-File (aka completed trades). These "uncompleted" PTBNL trades would get finished and entered in the file as-is, but the PTBNL forum would help confusion on which trades are still left open-ended.
As Sean said, teams should put the parameters in what type of prospect is to be the PTBNL. I personally don't think there should be limits as while usually the PTBNL is only a mid-level prospect or lower, sometimes the PTBNL is a quality prospect that the teams couldn't agree on when closing in on the deadline or maybe an injury and the receiving team wanted to make sure the injury wasn't severe before accepting the player.
