        sod.Zon_producttype,
        --p.Zon_title,
        --sod.Zon_status,
        SOD.Quantity As "Quantity", 
       SOD.PricePerUnit As "Price",
       SOD.Tax As "Tax",
       SOD.ManualDiscountAmount As "Product_discount"
       --sod.extendedamount
    FROM SalesOrderDetail sod
    inner join Product p on sod.productid = p.productid
    WHERE so.SalesOrderId = sod.SalesOrderId
    ORDER by sod.SalesOrderDetailID
    FOR XML PATH('Product'),Type) As "Products", 
    (Select so3.ShippingMethodCode,
                  so3.freightamount, 
    (Select    c.firstname,
                     c.lastname, 
               so2.Shipto_Line1,
               so2.Shipto_Line2,
               so2.Shipto_Line3,
               so2.Shipto_City As "city",
               so2.Shipto_StateorProvince As "state",
               so2.Shipto_PostalCode As "postal",
               so2.shipto_country As "country",
               so2.Shipto_telephone As "phone",
               so2.Shipto_fax As "fax"
              From SalesOrder so2
              WHERE so2.SalesOrderId = so.SalesOrderId
             FOR XML PATH(''),Type) As "ShippingAddress" 
              From SalesOrder so3
              WHERE so3.SalesOrderId = so.SalesOrderId
              FOR XML PATH(''),Type),
   (Select     c.firstname,
               c.lastname, 
               so4.billto_Line1,
               so4.billto_Line2,
               so4.billto_Line3,
               so4.billto_City As "city",
               so4.billto_StateorProvince As "state",
               so4.billto_PostalCode As "postal",
               so4.billto_country As "country",
               so4.billto_telephone As "phone",
               so4.billto_fax As "fax"
              From SalesOrder so4
              WHERE so4.SalesOrderId = so.SalesOrderId
             FOR XML PATH(''),Type) As "MailingAddress"
FROM SalesOrder so
left outer join Contact c on c.contactid = so.customerid 
left outer join Account a on a.accountid = so.customerid
WHERE so.CreatedOn > '2011-08-08'
FOR XML PATH('Order'),ROOT('message')

my output looks liek this:

<message>
  <Order>
    <OrderNumber>ORD-01003-H8M0J</OrderNumber>
    <created>2011-08-16T13:52:48</created>

    <Order_total>228.4400</Order_total>

You can write the alias for the items you need in orderheader as ‘orderheader/created’ and so on to get the desired output.

SELECT
so.OrderNumber as 'orderheader/OrderNumber',
so.createdon As 'orderheader/created',
so.totallineitemamount As 'orderheader/Sub_total',
so.totalamount as 'orderheader/Order_total',
...

will produce the output as

<orderheader>
    <OrderNumber>something</OrderNumber>
    <created>something</created>
    <Sub_total>something</Sub_total>
    <Order_total>something</Order_total>
</orderheader>
