Question

I have two tables:

Table GL

TRANS_NBR     BASE_AMOUNT    CTRL GRP
 120211282    -7200          77
 120211282    -300           77
 120211282    -10000         76

Table AP

TRANS_NBR   BASE_AMOUNT    CODE
 120211282  7500           Wire
 120211282  10000          ACH

I need to be able to add the Code column to the GL Table, but the the amounts need to be aggregated first. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Thanks

I’ve tried this from Tom Ingram’s answer,

SELECT GLTRANS.REFERENCE, SUM(GLTRANS.BASE_AMOUNT) AS SUM_BASE_AMOUNT, CBCHECK.CODE 
FROM (      
SELECT GLTRANS.REFERENCE, GLTRANS.BASE_AMOUNT, CBCHECK.CODE         
FROM  LAWSON_PRODST.LAWSON.GLTRANS      
LEFT JOIN LAWSON_PRODTST.LAWSON.CBCHECK on CBCHECK.TRANS_NBR = GLTRANS.REFERENCE    
UNION       
SELECT GLTRANS.REFERENCE, GLTRANS.BASE_AMOUNT, CBCHECK.CODE         
FROM LAWSON_PRODTST.LAWSON.CBCHECK      
)       
GROUP BY GLTRANS.REFERENCE      

But I get an “incorrect syntax near keyword “group.” Can anyone spot the issue? Thanks

Try something like this

select DTABLE.TRANS_MBR, DTABLE.SUM(BASE_AMOUNT) as DTABLE.SUM_BASE_AMOUNT, CODE
from (
    select TABLE_GL.TRANS_NBR, TABLE_GL.BASE_AMOUNT, TABLE_AP.CODE
    from TABLE_GL
    left join TABLE_AP on TABLE_AP.TRANS_NBR = TABLE_GL.TRANS_NBR
    union
    select TABLE_AP.TRANS_NBR, TABLE_AP.BASE_AMOUNT, TABLE_AP.CODE
    from TABLE_AP
) as DTABLE
group by TRANS_NBR
