Contacts - Allow multiple addresses for a single contact record
Ability to create and save multiple addresses for a single contact record
Purpose: Allow customers to map customer & supplier details against a single contact record
Thanks for your continued engagement and valuable feedback on this long-standing idea, everyone. We've been carefully reviewing your comments and want to acknowledge the clear sentiment of frustration regarding the current limitations around managing multiple addresses for contacts, particularly for invoicing and delivery purposes, and that this is a critical feature to many of you.
We want to share an update on our progress here - We're pleased to confirm that the foundational work for handling multiple addresses has been completed within the Contacts area of Xero. This was a crucial first step. Building on this, now that all customers are on the new invoicing experience our product team has moved into the discovery phase for adding multiple addresses directly within invoicing. This means they are actively exploring the best way to implement this functionality to meet your needs effectively.
We appreciate your patience as we work through the complexities of adding this to ensure a robust and user-friendly solution. We'll provide further updates as we move forward with the development.
Thank you again for your passionate feedback and for helping us prioritise the features that matter most to your businesses.

@Stuart Wili good idea, worth a shout to get messages directly through to her on LinkedIn - I doubt this thread is monitored by Xero in the same way which we get email notifications on each reply…

Although this idea thread goes back to 2022, multiple delivery addresses is something which has been asked for now for over a decade.
You are all shouting into the void, Xero is now in the part of the product cycle where they are removing features, not adding them.

Seriously considering moving away from Xero due to this issue, something I have not encountered in any other package I have used.
Surely for an issue that is so critical to so many users this should have been resolved by now?
For anyone wanting an interim fix please see @Mark Smith suggestion of 24/04/2025

We run a flooring company, with Estate Agents, Contractors giving us multiple sites. Not being able to have sub sites on an account is not tannable and its beyond believe that Xero has done nothing to implement this change.
IF EVERYONE BOPMBARDS THEM WITH THIS REQUEST in one day maybe they will see the the urgency

Hi Kelly
Please can we have an update on this ESSENTIAL feature. It doesn't make sense that you say it requires a "complex solution", as this is available for purchase orders. Surely the programmers can just copy the coding across?
I'm puzzled as to what Xero programmers actually do all day, as they are certainly not producing solutions for extremely urgently needed "features" that have hundreds, if not thousands, of votes.Please, PLEASE have the courtesy to update us with a date for this.

How is this feature taking so long to implement?!
It's really very critical for any business which provides physical goods...If there's some sort of difficulty in implementing this fully, how about Xero adds a field where a one-time use address can be added on a per-invoice basis?
If we can specify different delivery addresses on purchase orders, (as we're expected to need multiple delivery addresses), why is it so hard to have a similar feature on invoices, (as if customers are only allowed to operate from one location)..?
Please Xero, listen to your customers, Just. Get. It. Sorted.

Still waiting......I now have wayyyyy to many contacts and its becoming harder to workaround. I'm starting to scale and it will soon be untenable

I urge anyone going to Accountex in London next week to speak to everyone on the Xero stand about this issue. If you're not going, do let your account manager know if you are a Xero partner.

Maybe if each and every one of the 1,222 who have voted for this requests an update, it may trigger an algorithm to prompt a response

This is a basic requirement, can't believe Xero have ignored all requests. I'll be cancelling my subscription next month.

I gave up some time a few years (around 8 or 9 from memory) ago (on Xero request, and I am sure I wouldn't have been the only participant) to provide customer/user input on this requirement (and other proposals) - at the time the immediate feedback I received that it was likely to take around a year but was important and would happen. I have requested updates from the development team contact I had at the time, but after 3 years, they stopped responding. Incidentally, the updates that I did receive were that it was coming soon!
Overall, Xero is an excellent fit for our requirements, but this remains a disappointment in terms of delivery, communication, and commitment.
Can I respectfully request an official update with some firm dates please.

I have been waiting for this upgrade for 5 years i have seen other comments that have been waiting for up to 12 years. Kelly Munro just keep on repeating every few months / years it is very complicated. xero has the ability to have multiple delivery address for purchase orders so why not invoices??? so how hard can it be??? i am now fully convinced after 5 years of waiting Xero have no intension of introducing this feature. i am now actively looking for a new accounting package that supports this feature. 1222 users want this feature still not enough for Xero to fund this upgrade!!

This is the one reason we might have to leave Xero. many of our customers are large organisations where we deliver services for multiple departments and individuals, but we certainly don't want to create a different version of that customer for each contact.

This is highest rated product idea on Xero. Please provide an update on when this feature will be rolled out. This is the only thing stopping us from moving away from Sage50.

@Anya Pagden using a non tracking product will make the shipping address show up on the invoice and packing slip and as it's not tracking it wont affect your inventory. All you need to do is use a logical number system for the part number. e.g. DEL-XYZL01-001. The 2nd and 3 part of the part number relate to the customer account reference and address sequence. if you have 10 delivery addresses it would go all the way upto 010.

@MarkSmith can you please explain how this works?

@Melissa Johns I use non tracking products as a work around until multiple delivery addresses are available :-)
