Deliver and invoice to different addresses
==========================================
==============================================
Deliveries and invoices to different addresses
==============================================
With Odoo Sales, you can configure different addresses for delivery and invoicing. For some
customers, it will be very practical to define specific billing and shipping addresses. Indeed, not
everyone will have the same delivery location as the invoicing location.
People and businesses often use separate addresses for billing (invoicing) and shipping (delivery)
purposes. With the Odoo *Sales* app, contacts can have different specified addresses for delivery
and invoicing.
Activate the feature
====================
Settings
========
Go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Configuration --> Settings` and activate the **Customer Addresses**
feature.
To properly utilize multiple addresses in Odoo, go to :menuselection:`Sales app --> Configuration
--> Settings` and scroll down to the :guilabel:`Quotations & Orders` heading. Then, check the box
next to :guilabel:`Customer Addresses`, and click :guilabel:`Save`.

Add addresses from a quotation
==============================
Contact form configuration
==========================
When you create a quotation, you must add a customer. This customer can be a company or a person
with specific billing and shipping addresses already defined and registered in the system, or it can
be a new customer. In this case, you have to **Create and edit** the contact form for your new
customer and link it, if necessary, to a company. In this contact form, you will be able to add,
delete and modify invoice and delivery addresses.
To add multiple addresses to a contact, go to :menuselection:`Sales app --> Orders --> Customers`,
and clear any default filters from the search bar. Then, click on the desired customer to open their
contact form.
.. image:: different_addresses/addresses_2.png
.. tip::
Contact forms can be accessed in the *Contacts* application, as well.
From the contact form, click :guilabel:`Edit`, and then select :guilabel:`Add`, which is located
under the :guilabel:`Contacts & Addresses` tab. Doing so reveals a :guilabel:`Create Contact` pop-up
form, in which additional addresses can be configured.

.. note::
If you select a customer with defined invoice and delivery addresses, Odoo will automatically use
them to fill in the fields. Now, if you want to change it instantly, it is possible to do so
directly from the quotation or the sales order.
On the :guilabel:`Create Contact` pop-up form, start by clicking the default :guilabel:`Other
Address` field to reveal a drop-down menu of address-related options.
Add addresses from a contact form
=================================
Select any of the following options:
Previously, we talked about the contact form that you can fill in directly from a quotation or a
sales order to add billing and shipping addresses to customers. But, if you go to
:menuselection:`Sales --> Orders --> Customers`, you can create or modify every customer you want
and add, delete or modify invoice and delivery addresses instantly there, before creating a
quotation.
- :guilabel:`Contact`: adds another contact to the existing contact form.
- :guilabel:`Invoice Address`: adds a specific invoice address to the existing contact form.
- :guilabel:`Delivery Address`: adds a specific delivery address to the existing contact form.
- :guilabel:`Other Address`: adds an alternate address to the existing contact form.
- :guilabel:`Private Address`: adds a private address to the existing contact form.

Once an option is selected, proceed to enter the corresponding contact information that should be
used for the specified address type.

Deal with different addresses
=============================
Then, click :guilabel:`Save & Close` to save the address and close the :guilabel:`Create Contact`
window. Or, click :guilabel:`Save & New` to save the address and immediately input another one.
Like for the previous example, go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Orders --> Customers` and create a
new customer. There, you can add company information but, more importantly, you can enter billing
and shipping addresses under the **Contacts & Addresses** tab.
Address added to quotations
===========================
.. image:: different_addresses/addresses_4.png
When a customer is added to a quotation, the :guilabel:`Invoice Address` and :guilabel:`Delivery
Address` fields autopopulate with the corresponding addresses specified on the customer's contact
form.

Once done, you can return to your Sales dashboard and create a new quotation. Now, if you enter
your new customer, you will see that the other fields will fill in by themself with the information
previously saved for billing and shipping addresses.
The :guilabel:`Invoice Address` and :guilabel:`Delivery Address` can also be edited directly from
the quotation by clicking the :guilabel:`Edit` button, and then clicking the :guilabel:`➡️ (right
arrow)` internal link buttons next to each address line.

These addresses can be updated at any time to ensure accurate invoicing and delivery.
With Odoo Sales, it is now very convenient to play with various addresses in terms of invoice and
delivery features.
.. tip::
If any changes are made on a form in Odoo, include *Contacts* forms, remember to click
:guilabel:`Save` to save the changes to the database.
