Title: Eric CAUDAL
Using a partner as an drop shipping is indeed a very simple solution that we have implemented onsite.
Some module by Akretion can help but I really think this should be out of the box.

Eric, good suggestion. Openerp just needs to remember there are multiple use cases where drop shipping needs to be supported.

Use case 1
When the company X  using Openerp is requesting their supplier drop ship to Company X's customer on their behalf.

Use case 2
When company X's customer (e.g.  retailer A) asks company X to drop ship to retailer A's customer.

Both scenarios are required.

As a comparison.
Some Erp systems copy a partner's delivery  address and make it part of the individual sales order, receipt, purchase order record, and then allow overwriting the copied address to accommodate drop shipping. This avoids having to create a partner with thousands of addresses. And then allows administrators to update the address quickly to a "partners" address if needed.  

It might be good for Openerp to share its use cases for the redesign for comment in the community to see if scenarios like drop ship, etc are "handled" well or can be expanded.
