Before your numbers reach Dahua, you want to be sure they're right, and once sending starts, you don't want a row with missing details to go as it is. When reports go every day, it's hard to know on your own what arrived and what didn't.

With the "Dahua Integration", you preview any report for any month without anything being sent, then activate daily sending, and see every day what was sent, what was held back and why.

## Follow the Steps

A row missing details in "Edara" is held back and not sent, so only what's right reaches Dahua:

### Previewing the Reports

A preview only reads "Edara", and nothing is sent to Dahua:

1. Open " **Preview** ".
2. Choose the "Report" and "Month".
3. Click " **Preview** ".
4. Check the "Rows that would be sent", the "Rows held back" and the "Reasons rows are held back".
5. To download the rows, click " **Download rows (Excel)** ".

A held-back row stays out of the report until you fix its reason in "Edara", such as a sales line with no price, or a purchase order without Dahua's order number.

### Activating Daily Sending

Once the items in "Overview" are complete, "Everything is ready" shows:

1. Open " **Overview** ".
2. Click " **Activate** ", then click " **Start sending** ".

Every day at the "Daily send time" it sends the current month up to yesterday, and on the first of the month it sends the whole previous month.

### Following Runs and Held-Back Rows

After you activate, "Needs attention" in "Overview" shows the rows held back in the last run by reason, so you fix them in "Edara" and the next run sends them:

1. Check the reasons under "Needs attention" in "Overview".
2. Open " **Runs** " to see each run with its rows sent and held back, and its "Dahua trace ID".
3. To send the reports without waiting for the time, click " **Run now** ", then click " **Send now** ".

### Pausing Sending

If you need to stop sending for a while, such as while fixing a lot of details in "Edara":

1. Open " **Overview** ", then click " **Pause** ".
2. Click " **Pause** " to confirm.
3. To start sending again, click " **Activate** ", then click " **Start sending** ".

> **Note:** Nothing is sent while paused, what was already sent stays with Dahua, and your setup is kept.

## Important Things to Know

- Previews are recorded in "Runs" too, and show when you click "Show previews".
- You can change the "Daily send time" under "Settings" › "General", and the new time applies from the next send.
- Rows for items with more than one part number are held back until you pick the right one, as in [Uploading the Mapping Sheet and Matching Part Numbers in the "Dahua Integration"](https://help.getedara.com/en/articles/90000023-uploading-the-mapping-sheet-and-matching-part-numbers-in-the-dahua-integration) .

## Try It Yourself

Sample data — it doesn't affect any real data. Preview all three reports, then activate sending in "Overview", and try "Run now" in "Runs" and "Pause" in "Overview".

## You May Be Wondering

**Does a preview send anything to Dahua?**

No. A preview only reads "Edara".

**What is sent every day?**

The current month up to yesterday, and on the first of the month, the whole previous month.

**Why was a row held back?**

Because its details in "Edara" are missing, such as a sales line with no price. Fix it in "Edara" and the next run sends it.

**What happens to my data when I pause sending?**

What was already sent stays with Dahua, your setup is kept, and nothing is sent until you activate again.
