Agreed, very short sited on behalf of QB. Vendors can and do have different addresses for tax and payment purposes, a physical address and a mailing address. It would be great if there was an option, like with customers, to have a separate mailing (shipping) address. 

Adding to this request per the note: "we have to pick new features based on the value they’ll add to the most users possible."  I went looking for this basic feature today in QB Desktop.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are saying.  I know there a precious few programming hours based on the exhorbinant hourly payroll cost of QuickBooks programmers.  So, there is still no way handle multiple vendor addresses, corporate, physical, mailing, etc?

Thank you for checking in with us, @mmankin. 

I can provide you with some information about setting up your vendor profiles in QuickBooks Online. 

I understand how important it is to include many addresses for each vendor so that you can operate more efficiently. We don't know when this feature will be available in QuickBooks Online for the time being (QBO).

Our engineering team is aware of this and is trying to include it in the next update. In the meanwhile, you might want to hunt for third-party software that provides the features that your company requires. You can look for an app that integrates with QBO in our QuickBooks App Store. Alternatively, you can seek an app under your QBO account's Apps menu. 

Additionally, you can always check our Income and expenses page for future reference. There, you can read and learn some best practices in managing your expenses efficiently.

In case you have any other questions, you're always welcome to post here anytime. I'll be sure to answer them for you. Have a great day! 

Four years later and QBO still has not added this simple feature.

We have the same issue.  We use (as QBO designed it) the mailing address our vendors request to mail our POs and the shipping address to say the location for the materials to arrive or where the work will be performed; this is standard practice for many businesses where the location of the work is different than the location of the requestor of the work to be performed.  Then when the 1099s are created by QBO, they show the mailing address for all of the 1099s which are not the same as what our vendor's W9 says.  We need a spot to put the 1099 W9 information for the vendor so when we run a 1099 report, the company name and address on QBO's 1099 report matches the actual information required for the 1099.  If our vendors all used the same information as their W9 for their POs, this would not be an issue, however our vendors do not work that way and we need this flexibility for ease of use. 

It is not hard for QBO programmers to add a separate 1099 email address on a vendor to be stored for 1099 purposes if the 1099 checkbox is marked off for that vendor and then update the API also with this feature.  We can't use your 1099 processing you offer because of this error in your reporting so we have to use third party software for it.  Please QBO add this feature so your reporting features make sense.  

I see QB has never really cared to update this issue...  Was trying to figure out how to add a mailing address and thought surely I had to be missing something then came across this thread.  You can add 2 address for customers, why not for vendors?  Come on QB, get it together!

Do QBs programmers really understand basic bookkeeping or accounting??? So frustrating paying for and working with a product where the 'experts' are not experts at all!

They really don’t understand. I’m currently debating if this is causing me more of a headache than it is helping and if it is worth the cost. I’m thinking I’m just going to get rid of it
