How do you autopopulate a related field in custom module from a related field of another module?

I'm fighting against this issue since a couple of weeks and I can't figure out a way to do that.

I have a custom module for the orders management and I need to produce invoices automatically.
I'm following the example of 'ConverToInvoice.php' from Quotes module so, if I click on that button (under the Edit button in Detail View) I should create a new Invoice whose fields are pre-filled and editable.
I have to grab fields' values from current order management.
My first problem is that a lot of those fields are related, too.

For example, I need to fill a related field called 'Suppliers' in my invoice. The value I need comes from a module (Suppliers) related to the Account, which is related to the current order management.

How can I easily grab that value and put it in my suppliers field?

I tryed to follow this guide but it didn't worked.. probably I miss something.
I really need help, as soon as possible.

Thank you.

If you are creating a new invoice in the script then you can do so just populating the supplier id in the invoice bean populating the bean:

//create a new bean
$invoice=new AOS_Invoices();
//for each object populate it
$invoice->field_name = "field_value";
//relate the invoice to the supplier
$invoice->supplier_id = $supplier_id //check the naming of the relate field's id
$invoice->save();
