Setting Up the "Dahua Integration"

Last updated: November 12, 2026

When you distribute Dahua products, Dahua asks you for regular reports of what you sold, what you bought and what's in stock. Putting those reports together by hand every month takes time, and a single wrong item or quantity is enough for what Dahua sees to drift from reality.

With the "Dahua Integration", your sales, purchase and stock reports are read straight from "Edara" and sent to Dahua every day, without you preparing anything yourself.

Follow the Steps

You set it up in "Connect", then "Settings", and nothing is sent to Dahua before you activate sending:

Connecting "Edara" and Entering the Test Credentials

The integration reads your invoices, purchases and stock from "Edara" without changing anything in it. Dahua sends you credentials for its test environment, and you start with those:

  • Open "Connect", then click "Connect Edara".
  • Under "Test credentials", type the "Client ID" and "Client secret" Dahua sent you.
  • Click "Save and test".

When they're right, "Dahua accepted these credentials" shows.

Filling In the Required Settings

Before you activate, you need to choose the currency, the reports to send and the Dahua supplier in "Edara":

  • Open "Settings", then "General".
  • Choose the "Currency", and select the "Reports to send": "Sales", "Purchases" and "Stock".
  • Open "Purchase report", and choose the "Dahua supplier in Edara".
  • Click "Save changes".

In the same settings you can also change the following if you need to:

  • "Daily send time": the hour the reports go every day, 7:00 AM by default.
  • "Match items to the sheet by": the "Edara" item field compared with the models on the mapping sheet.
  • "Customer code sent to Dahua", "Send serial numbers" and "Subtract sales returns" under "Sales report".

Seeing What's Left Before You Activate

"Overview" shows what's left before you can activate, and each missing item has a button that takes you there:

  • Open "Overview".
  • Check the items under "Before you can activate".
  • Click "Open" next to the missing item.

Once you upload the mapping sheet as in Uploading the Mapping Sheet and Matching Part Numbers in the "Dahua Integration", and preview the reports as in Previewing Reports and Activating Daily Sending in the "Dahua Integration", "Everything is ready" shows and you can activate.

Important Things to Know

Try It Yourself

Sample data — it doesn't affect any real data. Connect "Edara", click both test credentials boxes then "Save and test", then choose the currency and the Dahua supplier in "Settings".

You May Be Wondering

Does the "Dahua Integration" change anything in "Edara"?
No. It only reads your invoices, purchases and stock.
Where do I get the test credentials?
Dahua sends them to you, with a "Client ID" and a "Client secret".
When are the reports sent to Dahua?
Only after you activate, every day at the "Daily send time", 7:00 AM by default.
Why can't I activate yet?
Because an item under "Before you can activate" is still missing. Open "Overview", and click "Open" next to it.
