Managing addresses on customer cards
Go to Contacts screen > Customers table and choose a customer or create a customer.
There are two types of addresses:
Billing address - the address connected to the payer of goods.
Shipping address - the physical address where an order is delivered. Under shipping addresses, you can add multiple addresses if your customer has multiple physical locations.
The address marked as default on the customer card will automatically be used when creating a sales order.
Clicking on an address field opens a pop-up to edit the data. Click Ok to save the address.
To use addresses on a SO, you don't have to add them up on the customer card - you can always add an address directly on the SO. Read more about SO addresses
Creating multiple shipping addresses on a customer card
Open a customer card and click + Add address under Other shipping addresses.
A pop-up will open where you can enter the shipping address details. Click Ok once you've finished.
To change the default shipping address for a customer, click the 3-dots icon and select Set as default. This will move the previous default address under Other shipping addresses, and the selected address becomes the new default.
