Every time I create a PO, Whenever a vendor is selected, it defaults to my address on ship to. Not the vendors address I need it to go to.
Thank you for posting here in the Community, @angiew2022.
I'm here to share some insights about creating a Purchase order.
The purchase order is from one of your vendors. When creating one, you can set a Ship to address by clicking the dropdown ▼, then choose a customer if you want to send it directly to them. Not selecting a customer will be delivered to your address as you are the one who purchased the order.
You can check on how to create and send purchase orders in QuickBooks Online to guide you with the process.
I'd suggest checking our articles about Expenses and Vendors to guide you on how you can effectively manage your vendor transactions, such as your purchase orders.
Don't hesitate to click the Reply button if you have more questions about the Purchase order. I'm always here to help. Have a great one.

When I click the vendor in the drop down it does not put their address... it auto populates my address, every time, every vendor.
Thanks for coming back, @angiew2022.
If you are shipping the products directly to a customer, just click the Ship to ▼ drop down and then Ship via. Then, review the Shipping address to make sure it's correct. Here's how:
If the same thing happens, a possible browser issue causes this odd behavior when creating a purchase order. Just sign in to your account using a private or incognito window. This mode doesn't use the existing cache data and helps us confirm browser-related issues. Here's how:
If it works, go back to your regular browser and clear the cache to delete those temporarily stored files and browsing history. The overtime collection of data can create corruption, however, removing this should fix the issue. You can also use supported, up-to-date browsers to roll out the possibility of a browser-related issue.
Feel free to visit our Expenses and vendors page for more insights about managing your vendor transactions.
Let us know how it goes after performing the steps as I want to ensure this is resolved for you. I can also help you run vendor reports or any QuickBooks-related. Just leave a comment below and I'll get back to you.
None of that works.
Again every time I create a PO. I select ship to (from the drop down) and it automatically puts my address in there. It is never the vendors.

I've got you, @angiew2022. I have troubleshooting steps for you to help fix the vendor shipping address issue.
An accurate shipping address is one of the important in the Purchase Order (PO). That's why I'll take care of this at the soonest moment.
To isolate the shipping address issue, follow the steps below:
If the problem remains, I'd recommend changing the vendor shipping address. Thus, the system refreshes itself with new information. To do this:
