We very often change the description of a product if we add it to the
Sales Order. (sale.order.line name) This description of the product is
passed as it should to the created invoice but not to the Purchase
Order.

An example for business cards:

1.) We add the product "Business Cards" to our Sales Order and change the description to "Business Cards 300g - 10 variations"
2.) We confirm the Sales Order and a Purchase Order is created but only with "Business Cards" for the product description.

This is very time-consuming because you have to change the generated
Purchase Order by hand...

Hopefully this explains a little better what i meant.

By the way most of the time we have to create Ourchase Orders before we can confirm the Sales Order because we need an up to date price for the products. So we have to create this Purchase Orders manually right after creating the Sales Order.  Even worse after i confirm the Sales Order i get another Purchase Order from the Sales Order wich is not needed at all because we already have an up to date price and a confirmed Purchase Order from our supplier.

My suggestion would be that there is a new button in the Sales Order
called "Create Purchase Requisiton" So i could obtain the up to date
product prices before i confirm the sales order - wich in fact is what
we do all the time.

Sure "Purchase Requsitions" would need to be expanded a litte because
you have to add the "Product Description" field and the "Analytic
Account id" field to Purchase Requisitions - BUT this would make
Purchase Requisitions MUCH MORE USEFULL anyway because the created
Purchase Orders from the Purchase Requsition would not force us to
change the "Product Description Text" and the "Analytic id" manually
later on.

Workflow should be that only Products of type "Service" and with "Supply
method: Produce" are created automatically as Tasks when confirming the
Sales Order (Because Tasks are only done and created after confirmation
of the Sales Order).

And as a special goody if no one pressed the fabulous new button until
the conirmation of the Sales Order you could give a little hint at
confirmation like "There are no Purchase Requisitions created from this
Sales Order. Would you like to do this now?" ;)

This would make the OpenERP very usefull for a whole bunch of service
companies wich always have to ask for a price beforehand! :)

Please feel free to ask for any additional information you probably need
(and sorry for my english!)

Title:
  Purchase Orders created from Sales Orders do not honour the Analytic
  Account or product description

Status in OpenERP Modules (addons):
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  If a sales order gets confirmed and it creates automatically a
  purchase order then neither the analytic account of the sales order
  nor the overwritten names of products are transfered to this newly
  created purchase order.

  For the automatically created custommer invoice everything works
  perfectly: Analytic account and all data from the product_lines are
  transfered correctly!
