[GNC] Fixing incorrect Vendor for invoices

[Adrien Monteleone]

I could be mistaken, but I think a bug report was already filed on this. 
(It may have just been a list discussion though)

I tend to agree. The 'Edit' buttons that appear next to the 
Vendor/Customer and Job do not 'speak' to me as allowing me to edit the 
details of the Vendor/Customer or Job assigned, but rather edit the 
field that contains *which* Vendor/Customer or Job is *assigned* to the 
Invoice/Bill.

I only know these buttons work this way because I've long ago been 
bitten by this poor context. I'm in the same bucket as the others who 
interpreted those buttons differently than the designer(s) intended.

There are other ways to edit those details. I'd vote for removing the 
buttons entirely.

Regards,
Adrien
