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.

We are unable to know by looking at an invocie which company location a shipment was sent to (most of our customers have multiple facilities), because every time we change the address in the company settings it changes all past invoices as well. We have to track hundreds of shipment addresses associated with the correct job outside of Xero... back when we used QB we could choose from a list of shipping addresses for each customer for each sale and it would be recorded and saved on the invoice. I think this is one of the biggest failings of Xero.

If multiple delivery addresses for a single client isn't added in the next few months, we will change out accounts package in June 2024 as that is the end of our financial year.

My client has a construction business and being able to have site address being different to the office address would be extremely helpful as majority of their work is for large corporate companies with multiple locations operating at the one time.

We have a tutoring business and being able to send out birthday cards or special events are a critical part of our marketing strategy. It would be really helpful to be able to add details to the contacts (customer) lists.

Nah not 3 years. I requested this back 10 years ago minimum. They just keep changing the forums and merging and changing the date so it doesn't look like it's been so long. The old threads on this topic had 100s of replies if not more that were "lost".

This issue is coming very close to being 3 year old !!! No real progress from Xero other than tissue thin lame platitudes.

Multiple Delivery option is standard in the 21st Century. When will Xero catch up?

hi Xero, March 2023 i believe work is moving along to have this feature (multiple delivery options under one customer) can we have an update 9 months on? thanks

Sarah Williams commented
@Kelly Munro - Could we please get another progress report here? It's been 9 months since the last update and 10+ years since it was first requested. This is clearly critical for so many users. An ETA and more regular updates would be helpful for everyone.

These email alerts make me laugh.
These have all been requested 5-10 years.
I have 4-5 apps I use in my tech stack and I’ve never seen anything like xero’s lack of development.
It’s all lipstick people. If the ability is not currently there don’t limit your business waiting on these clowns.

I must also add my voice here. We have recently changed over to Xero and can't believe this basic functionality doesn't exist!?
MYOB had a number of detractions, but they at least had this sorted. I guess you are planning on really limiting your market, if you can't fix this. -

Multiple contact people and multiple phone numbers is pretty important, critical really. Different billing addresses and shipping addresses are also a MUST for large corporations.

@ Tony Tay
@ support@xero.comAs I have it, and I picked this up on another Xero "problem" forum is that Xero is built on a very outdated "backbone" so to speak.
Any changes with Xero concerning direct application changes (not visual) to the application itself is very costly and they might not have the knowledge on how to implement it. That is why at every quarterly Xero update session, most if not all of the updates will be visual aspects e.g. how a report looks like, how many columns you can add etc. Basically taking info of forefront and present it in a different way.
If this issue of multiple contact addresses is so critical to your organisation or your clients', you have 2 options.
1 - contact Xero support directly or 1.1 take it up with your national representative and if not anything is done
2 - advise your clients to break away from Xero.
These 2 options is what I implemented option 2 always sufficed.@xero
Why do we need to talk about and wait 10 years before our voices are heard? -
Tony Tay commented
Agreed with Graham Tottle
The feature (to add different delivery addresses) exists in the Purchase Order screen, so the code is already written - why can't this be applied to the invoice page too?
You already ignore this request for more than 10 years, do something right now.

Simon Chrispin commented
Can't believe you cannot store multiple individuals' phone numbers under a single company contact name. Xero cannot be used as a contact database.
Please release into front end. -
Paul Kamps commented
This is absolutely critical to the functionality of our invoicing system. Brokers represent our product so we are billing them but shipping products all over North America to hundreds of different delivery address.

Hi Kelly,
I can't believe how this thread has been ignored by Xero for so long. Bad news is better than no news.
Please provide a timeframe (not another "we are working on it") about Xero's plans for this feature. If it is not going to be implemented, just let us know.
Thank you

Hi Kelly
Can we get an update on this please; I have clients wanting to leave Xero due to this issue.
When is it likely to be release?
Thanks -
trent roper commented

Suzanne Gambrill commented
We need this feature ASAP please XERO. If the code already exists within POs then it should be an easy update.
