1. Go to **Companies** in the Connector
2. Your Tally ERP 9 company should appear under "Available for Sync"
3. Click on it to add it
4. Go to **Dashboard** and click **Run Sync Now**
5. Your data will start syncing to the FinlyticZ cloud

### Enable ODBC Port (If Required)

In some cases, you may also need to enable the ODBC port:

1. Open Tally ERP 9
2. Press **F12** > **Advanced Configuration**
3. Set **Enable ODBC Server:** `Yes`
4. Set **Port:** `9000`
5. Save with **Ctrl + A**

### Important Notes

* Tally must be **running** on the PC for the Connector to sync data
* If Tally is closed, the Connector will retry automatically based on your retry settings
* The Connector detects if the active company changes in Tally and adjusts accordingly
* Make sure your **firewall** is not blocking port 9000

### Troubleshooting

| Issue                 | Solution                                               |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Connection test fails | Ensure Tally is running and port 9000 is enabled       |
| Company not showing   | Click **Refresh** on the Companies screen              |
| Sync errors           | Check Tally Setup > Sync tab > retry settings          |
| Port already in use   | Change port in both Tally (F12) and Connector settings |
