Item re-labelling

Hi All,
 
I'm pretty new to BC, and I had the following question today by our Sales team, and I'm not sure how to correctly set up this in BC
 
We are buying a 1 product called Ethanol , and we are adding this product to the warehouse as Ethanol where the QTY is 1
Later on, we are reselling 1 QTY of Ethanol as Zethanol, and this is what the customer should see in the Invoice. Basically is the same product from our warehouse but with a different name.
How can we properly set this up in BC, meaning without the need to create two separate items in the warehouse, as I'm afraid this will cause confusion among the sales users?
So we have kind of like Buying/Internal Description and Sales Description, two values for the same Item, but Sales Description is the one shown on the invoice and not the Buying/Internal one. 
 
Thank you for the help.
 
Regards,
Kiril

    That's a valid Business Scenario - Item reference is the functionality BC has where in either for the customer or the vendor you can define there own unique no of the items so that can see what they want as you said.
     
    On the Document we well you can choose the item no based on these.
