Spurious product description on invoice lines

[Virgil Dupras]

When adding a product that has a description to an invoice, the invoice line's "Description" field ends up with both the product name and the description, which is often way too verbose for an invoice line. I was wondering if this behavior was intentional, but when you look at the behavior for a Sale Order or a Purchase Order, you see that adding a product to one of them adds only the product's name to the SO/PO line's description field.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Create a new DB with demo data
2) Install the account module
3) Create a new invoice
4) Add a new invoice line
5) Select "HDD-DEM" in the product field

Result:

Description field is "[HDD-DEM] HDD on Demand On demand hard-disk having capacity based on requirement."

Expected:

Description field is "[HDD-DEM] HDD on Demand"

Hello,

We have used the supplier description for PO as well quotation description for SO. Same as we have to put the invoice description and we can use those description on invoice rather than using the product characteristic .

Thank you!

Hello Virgil Dupras,

Invoice field should have product's quotation description or supplier description, which has been fixed in attached branch:
lp:~openerp-dev/openobject-addons/7.0-bug-1205717-msh

There is no bug in SO and PO, the SO and PO line's product_id_change is behaving as it should, why you might getting only product code and product name is because your product "HDD on Demand" not having Quotation description or Supplier description, the expected behavior is to have Quotation description on Sale Order line's description field and Supplier description in Purchase order line's description field.

The issue is basically in Invoice Line which I have fixed above branch.

Hope this will help.

Regards,
Mohammed.
