That's one solution. You could copy the description to the invoice item. That's another. There are a lot more solutions, but the point is none of them will be trivial to implement in a large existing code base. It's really important to get the data model right as much as possible up front. This is a bit counter to all of the agile/scrum rage of iterate and refactor. That works for code, but schemas and data migrations do not lend themselves to constant refactoring.
