Question

I have an Oracle SQL query with which I want to fectch totals of several amount columns and some descriptive columns. In short I want output like:

INDBDebnmbr INInvoicenmbr INOpenAmount
40          10            100
40          14            125
35          20            200
60          21            75

My Querystring:

SELECT TRIM(A.ACCOUNTNUMBER) AS INDBDebnmbr
     , TRIM(A.VOUCHER) AS INinvoicenmbr
     , A.DATE_ AS INinvoiceDate
     , A.DUEDATE AS INinvoiceDueDate
     , A.TXT AS INDescription
     , A.EXCHANGECODE AS INCurrencyCode
     , subq.AMOUNTMST AS INOriginalamount
     , subq.SETTLEAMOUNTMST AS INpaidAmount
     , subq.OPENAMOUNT AS INOpenAmount
FROM (
            SELECT  DEBTRANS.VOUCHER AS VOUCHER, 
                    SUM(DEBTRANS.AMOUNTMST) AS AMOUNTMST, 
                    SUM(DEBTRANS.SETTLEAMOUNTMST) AS SETTLEAMOUNTMST, 
                    SUM(DEBTRANS.AMOUNTMST - DEBTRANS.SETTLEAMOUNTMST) AS OPENAMOUNT
            FROM XAL_SUPERVISOR.DEBTRANS DEBTRANS 
            WHERE DEBTRANS.OPEN = 1 
            AND DEBTRANS.TRANSTYPE <> 9 
            AND (DEBTRANS.AMOUNTMST - DEBTRANS.SETTLEAMOUNTMST) <> 0 
            AND DEBTRANS.DATASET = 'FIK'
            GROUP BY DEBTRANS.VOUCHER
        ) subq, 
       XAL_SUPERVISOR.DEBTRANS A 
WHERE subq.VOUCHER = A.VOUCHER 
GROUP BY    A.VOUCHER, 
            A.ACCOUNTNUMBER,
            A.DATE_, 
            A.DUEDATE, 
            A.TXT, 
            A.EXCHANGECODE,
            subq.AMOUNTMST, 
            subq.SETTLEAMOUNTMST, 
            subq.OPENAMOUNT

I do however get

INDBDEBNMBR   ININVOICENMBR  ININVOICEDATE  ININVOICEDUEDATE INOPENAMOUNT
10            2022903        12-2-2011 0:00 24-2-2011 0:00   110
35            2022903        11-2-2011 0:00 23-2-2011 0:00   110
20            2022903        17-2-2011 0:00 1-3-2011 0:00    110
10            2022903        14-2-2011 0:00 26-2-2011 0:00   110
29211         2022903        14-2-2011 0:00 26-2-2011 0:00   11

How do I get the correct SUMS by DEBTRANS.VOUCHER with the descriptive columns?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Answer 1

You’re unnecessarily joining back to the table to get your additional columns. I’m guessing that the problem is that you aren’t repeating the filter conditions for the outer instance of the table.

Does this do what you want?

        SELECT  DEBTRANS.VOUCHER AS VOUCHER, 
                SUM(DEBTRANS.AMOUNTMST) AS AMOUNTMST, 
                SUM(DEBTRANS.SETTLEAMOUNTMST) AS SETTLEAMOUNTMST, 
                SUM(DEBTRANS.AMOUNTMST - DEBTRANS.SETTLEAMOUNTMST) AS OPENAMOUNT
                TRIM(DEBTRANS.ACCOUNTNUMBER) AS INDBDebnmbr
              , DEBTRANS.DATE_ AS INinvoiceDate
              , DEBTRANS.DUEDATE AS INinvoiceDueDate
              , DEBTRANS.TXT AS INDescription
              , DEBTRANS.EXCHANGECODE AS INCurrencyCode
        FROM XAL_SUPERVISOR.DEBTRANS DEBTRANS 
        WHERE DEBTRANS.OPEN = 1 
        AND DEBTRANS.TRANSTYPE <> 9 
        AND (DEBTRANS.AMOUNTMST - DEBTRANS.SETTLEAMOUNTMST) <> 0 
        AND DEBTRANS.DATASET = 'FIK'
        GROUP BY DEBTRANS.VOUCHER
                ,DEBTRANS.ACCOUNTNUMBER
                ,DEBTRANS.DATE_
                ,DEBTRANS.DUEDATE
                ,DEBTRANS.TXT
                ,DEBTRANS.EXCHANGECODE

If not, then presumably one or more of those additional columns does not have a unique value by voucher. In this case, you need to decide how you want to select which value to display for each group. You could for example select the maximum value as shown below, but does that make sense for your businesss logic?

        SELECT  DEBTRANS.VOUCHER AS VOUCHER, 
                SUM(DEBTRANS.AMOUNTMST) AS AMOUNTMST, 
                SUM(DEBTRANS.SETTLEAMOUNTMST) AS SETTLEAMOUNTMST, 
                SUM(DEBTRANS.AMOUNTMST - DEBTRANS.SETTLEAMOUNTMST) AS OPENAMOUNT
                MAX(TRIM(DEBTRANS.ACCOUNTNUMBER)) AS INDBDebnmbr
              , MAX(DEBTRANS.DATE_) AS INinvoiceDate
              , MAX(DEBTRANS.DUEDATE) AS INinvoiceDueDate
              , MAX(DEBTRANS.TXT) AS INDescription
              , MAX(DEBTRANS.EXCHANGECODE) AS INCurrencyCode
        FROM XAL_SUPERVISOR.DEBTRANS DEBTRANS 
        WHERE DEBTRANS.OPEN = 1 
        AND DEBTRANS.TRANSTYPE <> 9 
        AND (DEBTRANS.AMOUNTMST - DEBTRANS.SETTLEAMOUNTMST) <> 0 
        AND DEBTRANS.DATASET = 'FIK'
        GROUP BY DEBTRANS.VOUCHER
