in “Dropship vendor” product attribute, it's used only when local vendor does not have desired qty in stock.
Non-local vendors that defined on product level is supposed to have unlimited stock (at least they treated so by udropship).
It's not possible at that level to manage stock for non-local vendors (backup or fallback)
because managento stock is already used to track local vendor inventory.
