In past versions of QuickBooks, there was only one option for recording the vendor’s address. This created a problem if you wanted to keep track of where the vendor was shipping from, or trying to keep the corporate office separate from the remittance address. There was no easy way to do this.
In QuickBooks 2011 we now have two addresses within the vendor record: the “Billed From Address” and the “Shipped From Address”. This is not quite as flexible as the multiple Ship-To addresses allowed in the Customer record. And it probably would have been better if there were at least 3 vendor addresses (e.g.: “Main Address”, “Shipped From Address”, and “Remittance Address), because the billed from address is not always the same as the remittance address nor the corporate address.
But at least having 2 vendor address is an improvement…
