Well, I would still call this a bug.

In over 30 years  I have *never*, *ever* come across a case where a
purchase order, or more importantly a suppliers BOM (shipping list) or
invoice uses anything but the supplier product number and description.

Perhaps outside of the Americas/EMEA there are exceptions to this "rule", but I tend to doubt it. 
If you disagree, please furnish a pertinent, real-world example and I promise to relax a bit.

Also considering that a portion of the bug involves a Human Interface
component (listing other than the suppliers products), it is prone to
ERROR and makes AUDITING much more difficult on the result.

ERROR and MISINFORMATION are principles contrary to an Enterprise
Resource Planning integration platform.

In summary, apparently the only partial workaround is a flat structure :
ONE product/ONE supplier and BE CAREFUL WHEN ENTERING DATA, in absence
of any viable priority to a fix of this problem report.

Side effect is naturally managing the overpopulation of the flat product
database.

Cordially,

** Summary changed:

- purchase order problem with suppliers article number
+ purchase order problem with suppliers article number and description

Title:
  purchase order problem with suppliers article number and description

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  this is the bug entry for the discussion here

  To demonstrate, I created a product with product id ABC123, with a
  supplier (ALDES) and their article number ALD123.

  In purchase order, after selecting ALDES for supplier, the order lines
  will display ALL products (even those not supplied by the supplier),
  but worse, ignores the suppliers article number and tries to create a
  new product.

  This is a serious limitation!
