This is because if you want to see in resulting set the column “Datesold” and so on, you need to group by this fields too:

SELECT 
    DateSold,
    Rep.FirstName,
    Company,
    Contact,
    Phone,
    OPD.TotalAmount AS Sold,
    SUM(OPD.PaymentAmount) AS Collected,
    (OPD.TotalAmount - SUM(OPD.PaymentAmount)) AS Balance 
FROM   
    OrderInfo
INNER JOIN 
    Order_PaymentDetails OPD ON OrderInfo.OrderID = OPD.OrderID
INNER JOIN 
    SalesRep_Info Rep ON OrderInfo.RepID = Rep.RepID 
WHERE  
    OrderInfo.CommuniTeeID = @CommuniTeeID
GROUP BY 
    OrderInfo.Company, DateSold, Rep.FirstName, Contact,
    Phone, OPD.TotalAmount
