"Incomplete or invalid order. Missing or invalid manufacturer for digital models" when receiving Trios study model orders in 3Shape Communicate Inbox

On some systems when receiving a Trios study model order (a scan with no indications selected), the order may show as empty  in the Inbox and have the following error message: "Incomplete or invalid order. Open (Ctrl+M) to correct. Missing or invalid manufacturer for digital models"

Affected DS versions: any version.

Root cause: missing\incomplete settings for digital model design and\or manufacturing. Dental System is adding a digital model by default when receiving and converting a digital impression order, and if there's an issue with the settings  - the order can't be converted correctly.

  1. Steps to solve: 
    Correct the missing\incomplete settings: check the following sections in Dental System Control Panel:
    • Digital Model design
    • Materials
    • Manufacturers
    • Manufacturing processes
      and make sure that there's at least 1 digital model design setting, which is linked to a material which is assigned to a manufacturer and a manufacturing process.
  2. Receive the order in Inbox once again after the settings were corrected: for DS 2018 and above the order can be downloaded once again through Advanced Download. Alternatively, the clinic can send a copy of the order which will be received in the Inbox as a new order.
