Can I list two separate addresses for one vendor, one for mailing the purchase order and one for mailing the payment?

Hi there, @chuck-luley.

Currently, there is no option to add two separate addresses when creating your vendor's purchase order and payments.

As a workaround, you can save the vendor's second mailing address in the Notes box of their Vendor Information pop-up box. This way, you can copy and paste the vendor's second mailing address from the Notes box to your bill payment's Mailing Address field.

This way, it would be easier for you to change the address every time you create a purchase order and payment.

I have attached a screenshot where you can locate the Notes box.

Also, I encourage sending us your feedback. This way, our engineering team can consider your suggestion for future product updates. And at the same time, you're helping us improve our product just like the other users who've shared their feedback before.

If you have other concerns, leave a comment below. The QuickBooks Community team is always happy to help.

Seriously, how can Quickbooks not have an option for listing the remit-to address on the purchase order? Do they understand that purchase orders are contracts? Got to have the correct address of the two parties on it.

Has this been fixed yet? There SHOULD BE the ability to have 2 addresses, one for a W-9 to be sent and one for the the vendor to receive payments.

Thanks for replying to this thread, @Limestone69.

I understand how essential it is for you to add two separate addresses for one vendor. Currently, this is unavailable in QuickBooks Online. In the meantime, I recommend you submit feedback directly to our software engineers. 

To submit feedback, here's how:
 

1. Open your QuickBooks Online account.
2. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback.
3. Type in your suggestion and click Next.
    

Moreover, we can do a workaround to add two addresses for one vendor. All you need to do is to set up two vendor profiles to add both vendor addresses in QuickBooks. Please note that applying the same name or description to multiple vendor profiles is not permitted by QuickBooks. You may add special characters or numbers to set up the accounts separately.

Follow these steps to set up a vendor profile:

1. Go to the Expenses menu and select Vendors.
2. Click on the New vendor button and fill out the necessary fields.
3. Once done, click on Save.

It's ridiculous that you can't have more than one address for a vendor.  Sometimes you even need more than two address because a supplier may have more than one location in addition to the mailing address.  I can't believe that anybody would put out a high-profile bookkeeping software like QB with so many basic features missing.  I regret moving from the desktop to the online version. 

I'm having the same issue with a vendor that has multiple addresses for 1099 (legal address) & payments (billing address).  I found comments on this same issue dated from 2018. That's really disappointing this issue hasn't been resolved.

Copying & pasting when making payments is only opening a door for mistakes & errors when mailing to hundreds of different vendors every month. It's extremely disappointing to even offer that as a solution! This seems to be an easy fix & would certainly appreciate to see this resolved very soon. 

Hi j2s,

I ca see that having the option to add a second vendor address is important in your business. I encourage you to send feedback about this, so our engineers can consider adding it in future updates.

1. Click the Gear icon.
2. Choose Feedback.
3. Enter a summary of your feedback and click Next.

It's true to copying and pasting addresses may cause mistakes. However, that's the only option we have at the moment.

Thank you for your patience. Let me know if you need anything else.

Is there any update on this with regards to Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise? I have a client who needs to send a vendor's purchase orders to one individual at the company and the payment confirmation (through Online Bill Pay) to a different individual. I thought I figured out a work-around with the online platform but I don't think it's working.

Thank you for joining in here in the thread, @alungo.

Customers being able to send a vendor's purchase orders to one individual at the company and the payment confirmation through Online Bill Pay to a different individual would be helpful.

Currently, this feature is not available in QuickBooks Desktop. You may be confident that we appreciate your input and are continuously working to improve the program features that our customers can use with QuickBooks. With this, I recommend sending this feedback to our product development team. As a result, they can evaluate and select the features to include for additional product advancements.

Here's how:

1. Navigate to the Help menu at the top of your company file to select Send Feedback Online and Product Suggestions.
2. This action will open the QuickBooks Feedback window.
3. Press the Type of Feedback drop-down menu and choose Product Suggestion.
4. Click the Product Area drop-down and choose which area in QuickBooks needs improvement.
5. Fill out the Here is my suggestion box with your product ideas.
6. Complete the remaining fields.

AGREE!  Absolutely unacceptable and ridiculous. Come on Quickbooks, get it together.  I would love to change to a different accounting software, but my accountant only works with Quickbooks.  Maybe I should change accountants!

6 years later. QBO for the US is seriously lagging...

Let's work together to resolve an issue for a system slow in QuickBooks Online, 9dpc.

QuickBooks Online can load up to ten seconds for most used pages. However, speed issues within the system depend on your device's processing capacity.

Here are several things to look at to get the best experience while using QuickBooks Online:

• Double-check your memory (RAM) capacity.
• Computer processing power.
• Bandwidth Internet connection.
• the shortfall in any area can reduce performance
• Review if your system meets the basic requirements.

Also, Intuit recommends Chrome and keeping the system up to date to get the best experience possible. Please refer to this page to check if you meet or exceed the System Requirements for QuickBooks Online.

Additionally, the incognito mode also impacts the system's performance. For more information about this topic, please refer to this article: Why is my QuickBooks Online slow?

Let me know if you still have additional concerns about QuickBooks Online (QBO) performance concerns. It will be my pleasure to assist you more.

Sorry, I just started using QB Online so I am still learning.  Wouldn't a really easy fix from Intuit's side be to simply allow a user to create multiples of the same vendor name? As in, say I have a personal loan and a business loan with the same bank. I will have two different mailing addresses and two different account numbers. If you allow me to create the bank name twice, that should fix the issue, right?

In addition to my suggestion/question above, could you also add Tags to Vendors if we can add vendors multiple times? An example of this would be if my wife and I go to the same hospital for treatment.  We would have different account numbers with the same vendor and same address.  It would be nice to be able to tag my wife's name on her bills and my name on mine. Thank you.

Thank you for using QuickBooks Online (QBO) to record your transactions for your business. Let me help you to address your concerns, Jeff.

In QuickBooks Online, you're unable to record multiple vendors with the same name. With that said, make sure to input unique or special characters in their names. The same thing goes for bank accounts.

In addition, how to create and Change vendor, customer, or employee name type using enhanced custom fields in QuickBooks Online:

• Create and edit custom fields in QuickBooks Online Advanced
• Change vendor, customer, or employee name type 

If you have other queries for creating the same vendor's name with the same bank account. Just reply to the comment, and I will be glad to assist you.
