Okay so I don't like applying the estimate I created for the customer job since I am only invoicing for a tiny portion of their project.  The estimate I generated for the project is two pages long, so as you can understand if I want to invoice them for four or five line items, I don't want to have to clear every item not used on the invoice each time.

When I enter a bill that I've paid for materials, I specify in the description box of the item what that item is, so for example '20 Studs' or '2k Ring Shank Nails' even though my item may be 'Framing Material' or 'Fasteners'.  So when I go to import those items I paid for to the invoice I want to be reimbursed on, then it takes my generic description of 'Studs, Plates, Plywood' for the '20 studs' or 'Nails, Screws, Glue, Washers' instead of '2k Ring Shank Nails'.  So when I invoice for this, I don't have a clue what Fastener it is that was this price, or what framing material it was because my description is not flooding over.  How do I get that to come over?
