The draft orders won’t pull/deduct inventory until the customer actually purchases them. Once they customer has made their purchase, the inventory will be deducted from your “online store” sales channel’s inventory.

This seems to be the reason that it is not being sent to the inventory software that we use. It is being deducted from our inventory level within Shopify though.
