Step 5: Extract the Files​

  1. A zip file named "Participant Share Sales Report" will be downloaded to your computer.

  3. Look for the file named "Dividend Reinvestment Activity.csv" - this is the file we need for importing into Stoxiio.
note

The zip file may contain multiple CSV files. Make sure to identify and use the "Dividend Reinvestment Activity.csv" file specifically for dividend reinvestment imports.

warning

Do not modify the CSV file data (dates, quantities, prices, fund names) as this may cause import errors or incorrect portfolio calculations.

  2. Create a new portfolio or select an existing portfolio where you want to import your dividend reinvestment data.
  3. Click on the floating menu button (bottom) and select "Import stocks".
  4. Choose "Morgan Stanley at Work" from the list of import options.
  5. Select "Dividend Reinvestment Activity.csv" as the file type.
  6. Browse and select the "Dividend Reinvestment Activity.csv" file you extracted earlier.
  7. Click "Import" to process your dividend reinvestment data.

Step 7: Verify Imported Data​

  1. Navigate to your portfolio in Stoxiio.
  2. Verify that the imported dividend reinvestment information is correct:
    • Check that all dividend reinvestment transactions are present
    • Confirm the dates match your Morgan Stanley records
    • Validate the share quantities and reinvestment amounts
    • Review that the transactions are properly categorized as dividend reinvestments

Tips for Regular Updates​

  • Quarterly imports: Run this process quarterly after dividend payments to keep your data current
  • Keep records: Save each download with date stamps for future reference
  • Monitor accounts: Regularly compare your Morgan Stanley account with your Stoxiio portfolio
  • File organization: Create a dedicated folder for your Morgan Stanley reports to stay organized
tip

Morgan Stanley typically processes dividend reinvestments shortly after dividend payment dates. Plan your imports accordingly to capture new reinvestment transactions.

Troubleshooting​

If you encounter any issues during the import process:

  1. File format issues: Ensure you're using the correct "Dividend Reinvestment Activity.csv" file from the extracted zip
  2. Missing data: Verify that your account has dividend reinvestment transactions in the selected time period
  3. Import errors: Check that the CSV file hasn't been modified and maintains its original structure
  4. Duplicate imports: Stoxiio automatically handles duplicates, so you can safely re-import the same file
