I DON'T use my reserve to return unused campaign parts. GM has a provision in the P&P manual outlining the return procedure where it doesn't affect your reserves. I can get you chapter and verse if you can't find it.

You do have to do a MANUAL 659, and have your APM sign off on it, and you have to identify the campaign with each part. I returned $2100 this spring, and plan to do this return about every 6 months to keep my CAMP bin clean.

Thanks Richard. I wonder how many other parts managers like me grabbed the P&P and found what you referred to (Section IV, Page 33).

Ford has a similar program, but with time limits as to program expiration. It'n not easy to deal with, but if you put recall/onp parts in a seperate source and add the campaign number in the remarks field it becomes much easier to save your PIPP money for other things.
