    I apologize for not using the proper forum etiquette. This was my first post ever, and I overlooked the etiquette section before posting. I will follow the proper procedure on future posts.

    The reason I want to join differing values is because the p.item is a required material in the BOM for the c.item

    I would like to order both statements by their due date so I can see if the raw material (p.item) quantity will be sufficient to produce the finished good (c.item). I just need a way to link the two values together based on the respective BOM requirement.

    Why not use the BOM tables as your link between raw material and finished goods?
