the only way to prevent an overstock from happening from RIM is to have the parts that you want exempted in a source which cannot be read by RIM. This requires a new (usually done at a resigning of an existing contract) with the DMS, demanding a number of sources which data is protected by the DMS and CANNOT be sent or transmitted to any third party without the dealers' written consent, on a case by case basis. The DMS will resist this, but in the end, if they want to keep your business they will comply. Make sure any addendum to such a contract is reviewed by the dealers' legal council. Do not depend on verbal confirmation by the DMS.
