Adding address description

There is not an option to check/or uncheck the boxes in the address description in Payable. I always have to type "primary". And I am unable to uncheck the other boxes that don't apply. And this is a required field so I can't skip over it.

    Right - the snip shown seems to be referring to the address description field. I agree, in FE7/database it would default to the description "<Vendor Address>". This was helpful - one less thing to enter. And if there are multiple AP employees adding vendors, there is less room for inconsistency in the labeling, which would be great.

    For the check boxes, all are checked by default and can't be unchecked unless there are multiple addresses used and one of the addresses must be marked primary. Marking a different address as primary removes that checkbox from the other address.

    This is nice since it allows using a "remit to" address, a "correspondence" address, a corporate office where 1099s should be sent to, etc.

    The vast majority of our vendors have just the one address so it would be great if it would default to a "<Vendor Address>" description. This would streamline vendor record creation a bit.

    Even better, we should have the ability to define what the default description should be.

    Thanks!

    Correct. If you look at the database view, the address description defaults to <Vendor Address>. See screenshot. I never have to add this information.

    I see - You are looking for default text for the 'Address description' to display instead of that field being empty?

    That is not my question/issue. I rarely use multiple address for a vendor, so why can't "primary" be the default so I don't have to type in "primary" every time. If I am adding 1 address which is 99.9% of the time, I cannot uncheck the boxes and choose only primary. I need to type it in.

    Hi - You can uncheck/re-check the boxes once multiple addresses are added. To add multple addresses, select 'Add another address' in the Address section of the vendor form.
