Thank you for your engagement on this idea. To help explain a little on how this works in the Account Transactions(AT) report - what shows in the Description field when running the report is dependent on the type of account you're running the report for.
For example, when running the AT report for a bank account, transactions will show the Contact name in the Description field. This is because the detail that is entered on each description line in the body of a transaction relates to the account the line item is coded to.
To see the detail, you'll need to run the report for the account code, not the bank account. This is also how the report works for some other accounts such as the system sales tax account, Account Receivable, and Accounts Payable.

It's just common sense, a contact name is known, the range of items costed that a contact's bill lists, can be quite large, the same name (contact's name) on every different item purchased on that bill, as that items description, is crazy.

Another thing about Xero changing the description of an item to just the supplier contact name. At times we order the same item from different suppliers, so if we go searching for how many of an item we've purchased over the past year, we're going to end up with a list of supplier names which might have items we haven't purchased or need information about. How many of the programmers in Xero have actually worked in a small business that orders many different items, from the same supplier as well as different suppliers?
The difficulty in trying to search for important information will be so much more difficult AND time consuming.
