If you do neither enter a description nor check "Accumulate Splits?" the 
invoice details appear in your A/R as splits of the transaction. Otherwise 
the details are overwritten by the posting invoice description.

Because this is not the first time where I hear about this problem, I think we 
should change GnuCashs behavior in the following way:

If "Accumulate Splits?" is unchecked, put the post invoice description in the 
memo field of the transaction or in the 
A/R split for invoices resp.
A/P split for bills and expense vouchers
instead of the memo fields of all splits.

Further suggestions, e.g. update of the documentation? 

Can you file a bug report 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GnuCash with summary "Post 
description of invoice/bill/expense voucher should not overwrite the 
descriptions of the details" to the bisiness component?
