If I'm understanding your description correctly I have tended to do this for some miscellaneous items. I have a part number ZZ-ZZZ-ZZ that has a description of "miscellaneous item" but I have changed that description before posting the item. I might use this, for example, if I purchase a fancy binder from Staples to put customer documentation or a report in. All my parts are for plumbing items or services, so a usual invoice might consist of "12cm diameter pipe, 1m" x 6, "Labour, 1 hour" x 2. I don't want to manage stock of a petty stationary item that I'll never use again, or have a part number for it in my database; I do want to bill the customer for the item but I want to add it to the regular invoice & not have to create a separate AR > Add Transaction. I suspect this usage is "wrong" and I think I have more recently just left the description as "miscellaneous item" and added "binder" or "stationary" or whatever in the item notes, but since the time I started using SQL-Ledger the field was editable, so it "made sense" to edit it.
