I have two select statements; one for open purchase orders, one for open customer orders. I would like to be able to combine the query based on i.item in the top statement joined with c.item from the bottom statement. The i.item is related to a specific c.item, but they do not have the same values. In this case I want to join based on.
p.item=i.item where
1001099548=1001099550
84162359=84198545
84532300=84532293
47547523=47547951
305545A3=87433653
87444977=87444975
left side coming from p.item = right side coming from c.item.
Here are my two statements. I am a newbie with TSQL so I apologize for any formatting problems or less than best practices. Thank you in advance.
--#1 OPEN PO's
SELECT p.item
,(p.qty_ordered-p.qty_received) as POQtyRemaining
,i.item
,i.qty_on_hand
,p.po_num
,p.po_line
,p.po_release
,p.stat
,p.qty_ordered
,p.qty_received
,p.due_date
,p.promise_date
FROM [Ace_App].[dbo].[poitem] p
inner join [Ace_App].[dbo].[itemwhse] as i
on p.item = i.item
where (p.item = '1001099548' or p.item = '84162359' or p.item = '47547523' or p.item = '84532300' or p.item = '305545a3' or p.item = '87444977')
and (p.stat = 'P' or p.stat = 'O')
order by p.item, p.due_date
--#2 OPEN CO's
SELECT c.item
,(c.qty_ordered-c.qty_shipped) AS QtyRemaining
,i.qty_on_hand
,c.due_date
,c.co_num
,c.co_line
,c.co_release
,c.qty_ordered
,c.qty_shipped
,c.stat
,c.promise_date
,c.co_cust_num
FROM [Ace_App].[dbo].[coitem] c
inner join [Ace_App].[dbo].[itemwhse] as i
on c.item = i.item
where (c.item = '84198545' or c.item = '1001099550' or c.item = '84532293' or c.item = '47547951' or c.item = '87433653' or c.item = '87444975')
and (c.stat = 'P' or c.stat = 'O'

Hi and welcome to the forums. You can't have a join match on dissimilar values. You could kludge this together in a horrendous fashion.

In you join condition.

on (p.item = 1001099548 and c.item = 1001099550)

OR (p.item = 84162359 and c.item = 84198545)

OR (p.item = 84532300 and c.item = 84532293)

OR (p.item = 47547523 and c.item = 47547951)

OR (p.item = 305545A3 and c.item = 87433653)

OR (p.item = 87444977 and c.item = 87444975)

OR (p.Item = c.Item)

This is really a poor format to say the least. This is killing the whole idea of letting the data work for you. Why do you have to join on values that are not the same???

If that doesn't do it we are likely going to need some more information to offer much help:

1. Sample DDL in the form of CREATE TABLE statements

2. Sample data in the form of INSERT INTO statements

3. Expected results based on the sample data

I would create an additional table to include the item's codes conversion. That way you can add it to your joins to keep an equality.

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.

Without tables and sample data we can't even begin to guess at how you might do that. 😛

You can insert the value pairs in the temp table (or a permanent one, if you do this on a regular basis):

declare @t table (t1 varchar(16),t2 varchar(16))

insert @t values ('1001099548','1001099550')

insert @t values ('84162359','84198545')

insert @t values ('84532300','84532293')

insert @t values ('47547523','47547951')

insert @t values ('305545A3','87433653')

insert @t values ('87444977','87444975')

and then join those tables into it:

select ...from

orders1 join @t t on orders1.item=t.t1

join orders2 on orders2.item=t.t2

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