    Hi everyone, thanks for voting and sharing your feedback here. 

    From the Contacts page you can already click the quick link to the official ABN lookup page to verify a number yourself. Our product team have reviewed the commentary here and appreciate that the ability to do this from within Xero would enhance the process, however at this stage there are no firm plans or timelines surrounding this. As always we'll be sure to return here if there's more news to share 📢

    We used to search Companies House, now use a credit agency subscription which gives us more detail when carrying out due dilligence on suppliers and customers. ABN verification would be helpful initially, VAT number check too

    Hey community, thank you for your continued interest in this idea.

    Wanted to provide an update here as it's been a while since we last spoke to duplicate contacts.

    I do understand that, at face value, this seems like a quick fix. However, as the contacts screen interacts with many other parts of Xero, this work can not commence until the modernisation of other, related systems is complete. 

    Due to this, we do not expect support for duplicate contacts to be delivered in the coming short-term.

    In the meantime however, we're keen to continue collecting feedback and votes on this idea, and I will update you here as soon as there's more work to share.

    We have a number of customers with same billing address but multiple delivery addresses. I've voted / commented on this in the past but can't see my comments in the list below

    Hi community, we understand your needs in this feature and want to assure you were taking on board all your feedback. 

    As many of you accustom to this idea will know, multiple addresses requires a complex solution. It's been something we’ve been moving towards for some time and we’ve done a lot of back end work that will allow us to bring it to you in the future. 

    We have 12 different products within Xero that rely on contact data, as well as many of our app partners. This means that contacts need to seamlessly flow across technology, products and all connections on Xero. And that’s exactly what we’ve been working on. 

    One of the reasons we announced the retirement of classic invoicing is because many of the features being asked for, just can’t be brought into classic invoicing. The old technology has too many technology limitations to enable this.…

    I've just had a customer question an invoice reminder as it had the incorrect delivery address on it. This is a direct result of having only one delivery address per contact. The original invoice was sent out with the correct delivery address, but we then had to change the address to accommodate the next order. The invoice reminders default to the current delivery address not the original. So what I thought was an inconvenient but doable work-around doesn't really work after all. Once more, I implore Xero to take the request for multiple delivery addresses per contact seriously and put some resource behind fixing it.

    Hi all

    We've been using a work around by changing the delivery address for accounts to match their requirements. As we add more customers, many larger than we've traditionally dealt with, this is becoming a complicated and time consuming task. Example 1 - Company group structure with single billing address and multiple manufacturing sites. Example 2 - Customer is a distributor who wants us to drop-ship orders to their various customers. Example 3 - Single company with various departments, each with individual delivery addresses.

    I'm amazed when I read others' comments that this request has been pushed to one side for so long. C'mon Xero - this should be a basic feature.
