Changing products names as product descriptions

All:

Is there a way to change the product names as the product description when I  run various reports?

 

For example, All my product names on QuickBooks are SKU numbers and the product descriptions are the actual product names in retail.

I am trying to make my reports as easily understandable to others as possible.  

Thanks for your help and have a great day,

As a workaround, you can enter the product names as the SKU number and the product description as the product name. So when you run a report, it will appear under Memo/Description as the product description, and under Product/Service, it will show as the SKU number.
