QB Pro Mac 5.0 - Enter Bill Items transfer to Invoices

[laptop]

Is it possible in QB Pro Mac 5.0 to transfer the Enter Bills Item
Description when creating an Invoice? This is for billing the client
Sub-Contracted work.

When selecting time and costs QB Pro Mac 5.0 enters the Description
from the Item (from the Items List) as opposed to the detail in the
Enter Bills Item Description. For the invoice to accurately reflect the
items billed I must reenter the appropriate description.

An automated method is obviously preferable. I have reviewed the
documenation and the online KB, and it seems as if there is no
solution. Possibly there is a work around not documented.

Thank you,
David

Inventory items have two descriptions. First appears on PO's and bills.
The other appears on sales receipts and invoices. If you are using some
generic term in your item description, yes, every time you want to get
specific you are going to have to type it in.

Non inventory items have either one or two descriptions depending if you
buy them for a specific job or not.

Fill out your item descriptions correctly and you won't have a need.
"Nails" isn't good when you want an item "6d clad roofing nails" and
another "4d finishing nails."

As for picking up the description entered on the bill/po not possible. QB
only stores that an item by item name needs to be billed to a job and its
instruction is to use the other name for the invoice anyway.

Why? PO, Cement 4.77/yard delivered. Invoice, Cement 10.00/yard
including pumping.
