Why is there a material internal name and a material external name

Question: Why is there a material internal name and a material external name
 
Answer: The material internal name is used on all internal documents like the job ticket. The external name is used on all client facing documents like the estimate. This gives the ability to use a more specific name for internal use like 12x18 100# Blazer Gloss Cover Item 12345 and then a more generic name for the client to view like 100# Blazer Gloss Cover or just 100# Gloss Cover.
