[Email Content]
Hello GWM Data Feeds,
Can you please add these {#} accounts for our firm {Firm Name} to our MSSB Envestnet feed (ENVSTN)? I will send a follow-up email with the LOA as an attachment.
If you could please let me know when this has been completed, it would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you have any questions.

Once Morgan Stanley processes the LOA, contact the UMP Configuration team to request that they claim the accounts (Macro: UMP Manual Claim Request).

Hello UMP Team,
Please claim the below accounts to the firm XXXX:

Once the UMP team confirms exporter set-up (for new feeds) or the feed is flowing, contact the PCR team to reconcile and post accounts. The PCR team is also responsible for creating the interface for new data feeds.
Good to Know

A new data feed takes a long time to set up: 1-3 months

One MSSB LOA per end-client (account owner) is required.

Morgan Stanley account numbers are 12 digits long, but MSSB only adds the first nine digits to the feed.

MSSB will not accept information via Zendesk. We are required to send a direct email via Outlook per their policy.
