I customized an older version of nopCommerce to "somewhat" handle dropshipping. Off the top of my head...this is what's involved:
I created these tables:
Vendor
PurchaseOrder
PurchaseOrderItem
Shipment (to save Tracking Number)
OrderItem_Shipments(maps line items to a shipment).
On the order details page, under the "Products" tab, I added "checkboxes" to each line item, added a dropdownlist of vendors on page, and a button for [Create Dropship PO]. This will auto generate a PurchaseOrder record, use the vendor info selected, and the customer shipping address on order. From here, you could Print the PO or Email PO to vendor.
When the vendor ships the product and sends you the tracking number, you need to assign the tracking number to 1 or all line items, so in the order details page, I created a data entry tab to add tracking number and assign line items to it. This way you can have orders that use multiple vendors to ship out products.
I also updated the "Your order has shipped" email to include tracking number as well as what items were in the shipment.
I'm thinking of converting it over to v.1.8 or v1.9. If I do it, I'll make a list of what needs to be done and share it.

Unfortunately, I do not have time to convert it to the latest version; however, I will try to zip up the necessary files and make a SQL script (stored procs, tables), then repost it here for anyone to download. It is on 1.3 I believe.
FYI: I kinda hacked it together because I needed a lightweight dropship/purchase order/inventory system. It is not a substitute for a real inventory management system.
A dropship product will have its stock quantity set to 0. When someone buys it, it goes to -1. Then we create the dropship PO and send it to the vendor. When the vendor ships the product, we consider it as being "received", so there's a management page to "receive" 1 product. The code adds 1 to the stock quantity and it goes back to 0. It's suppose to work for dropship/non-dropship purchase orders.
