I'd like to have my cart append the current manufacturer of a product to the products' name when an order is finalized and saved. Currently the data is saved to the table: orders_products but does not include manufacturer data.

example data:
Manuf: Everready Product Name: 12 v flashlight

A current order Invoice displays only:
" 1 x 12 v flashlight"

I would prefer the Invoice to display as:
" 1 x Everready 12 v flashlight"

I am not interested in just pulling the info at the time of viewing and printing of an Invoice (there is another thread that discusses this but it is not the same as what I wish to do). Since, in my case, my manuf info may change from time to time, I would prefer to actually store this info with the order's product data itself as it existed at the time of checkout. It appears the easiest way would be to append or concatenate the manuf name to the product_name at the time the order is saved. This should not cause a problem as product_name is not used as a key.

Anyone know what file / line would need to be located to allow this? I can't seem to find it.

Or is there another way of achieving the same the end result????

Thanks for any feedback!!!
