Resolving "Incomplete or invalid order. Missing or invalid manufacturer for digital models" when receiving Trios study model orders in 3Shape Communicate Inbox
08/11/2023This error may occur when receiving a TRIOS study model order (a scan without any indications selected) in 3Shape Communicate Inbox. The order appears empty and displays the following error:
"Incomplete or invalid order. Open (Ctrl+M) to correct. Missing or invalid manufacturer for digital models."

Cause
This issue occurs when the required Digital Model configuration is incomplete.
When importing a digital impression order, Dental System automatically adds a Digital Model. If the Digital Model settings are incomplete or incorrectly linked, the order cannot be converted successfully.
Resolution
Step 1: Open "Dental System Control Panel".
Step 2: Verify the configuration of the following sections:
- "Digital Model" design
- "Materials"
- "Manufacturers"
- "Manufacturing processes"
Step 3: Ensure that at least one Digital Model design is configured and linked to:
- A material.
- A manufacturer.
- A manufacturing process.
Step 4: After correcting the configuration, receive the order again.
For Dental System 2018 and later, the order can be downloaded again using “Advanced Download”.
Alternatively, ask the clinic to send a copy of the order. The copied order will appear in the Inbox as a new order.
