Introduction

The Multiple Addresses module in Vtiger CRM allows you to add multiple addresses for an individual contact, lead, vendor, or organization record. 

These addresses can be selected while creating an inventory item, such as an invoice, purchase order, etc., under the address details section.

Why store Multiple Addresses

Having only a primary address for a single organization, lead, vendor or contact with multiple branches can restrict you from sharing inventory items with different branches. By storing addresses of multiple branches, you can share the inventory items only with the concerned branch.  This results in faster deal conversions, payments, and other services.
