Hello David, 

Below possible ways we can implement inventory for this with common assumptions that the DropShipper (users ) who are currently holding inventory and delivering on the request are ready to update Inventory Records on Odoo.
Approach 1 : Create Separate warehouse as Drop Ship warehouse and provide the limited access deliver only for that separate Warehouse. And in such dropship products you can manage/configure the routes to get that delivery created from that DropShip Warehouse based on the product included in the sales order. (this might need little customization)

Approach 2 : Create Separate Company within your Odoo as DropShip Company and provide the access to the dropship warehouse users. And Create the automatiion to create the deliveries only for the Selected Product to that Drop ship company.

On separate notes, If the dropship company is totally using different software system of their own, then we need to determine the Data interfaces (pushing the Delivery Data and Pulling the Stock Levels in realtime). In this case it will be the Integration developing approach.

Thanks

Yeah, dealing with vendor inventory levels for drop-ship items in Odoo can totally feel like a headache. Odoo's standard setup is more about internal stock locations, which makes tracking tough when you're handling vendor-managed items that don't actually come into your warehouse.

A workaround? You might wanna try integrating a mobile automation thingy like Cleverence. Why does it work? Well, it tracks items even when they’re not in-house and gives you real-time insights while syncing up nicely with Odoo through its API. It’s like having a direct line to your vendor's warehouse. You can also tweak workflows using their low-code customization without too much fuss.

I worked on a project where we set up an external service with Cleverence to pull vendor data into odoo. This let us make a virtual warehouse, like an internal location in odoo, mirroring vendor stock levels. Yeah, odoo’s logic here can be weird and fussy sometimes, but we made drop shipping smooth, almost like handling internal stock. Give it a try - it should help align those inventory levels.

Remember, it can be tricky, so be prepared for some testing.
