Thank you for your reply, Kishore.

This is not true: “That address 4 and 5 is reserved for street address.”

Quickbooks addresses can be a maximum of 5 lines. So, if you were to use Addr1, Addr2, Addr3, Addr4, and Addr5 for the street address and then put the City, State, PostalCode, Country values in, it would be invalid. You can either use all 5 Addr fields, or you can use the first 3 Addr fields and the City, State, PostalCode, Country fields. Quickbooks addresses are strange in general: http://wiki.consolibyte.com/wiki/doku.php/quickbooks_qbxml_questions#is_there_anything_special_about_addresses_in_quickbooks_in_general

You may have misread my post (it’s hard for me to make it readable when normal users aren’t allowed to use any formatting). My second example used the City, State, PostalCode, Country fields instead of Addr4 and Addr5. The error that it returned said that there aren’t enough lines to compose the address. I think the issue is that when I submit the address the first time Quickbooks converts the City, State, PostalCode, Country values to Addr4 and Addr5, and since I can’t submit an empty field in my request Quickbooks is keeping the existing Addr4 and Addr5 fields as they are. So, from Quickbooks’ point of view, I’m trying to set the address to be this:

Company
Person Name
1234 Main St
Los Angeles, CA 90745
US
Los Angeles
CA 90745 US

Which is too big for Quickbooks and invalid.

To be clear, your suggestion (“To resolve this moving forward you can enter city,state postal code and country map separately and it will sync.”) is what I already tried in my second example and it did not work.
