Question

My sql query is

select I.[Old Product Code], 
    I.[Trade Name], 
    I.[Short Name], 
    SIL.[BOM Item No_] ,
    CASE when SIL.[Dimension Group Code] = 'IOL' 
        then I.[Group Description] 
        else I.[Short Name] END as GD,
    CASE when SIL.[BOM Item No_] <> '' 
        then 'Kit' end
from [Sales Invoice Header] SIH, [Sales Invoice Line]  SIL, [Item] I 
where I.No_ =  SIL.No_ 
    and SIL.[Document No_] = 'PEXP1213-153' 
    and SIH.No_ = SIL.[Document No_] 
group by I.[Old Product Code], I.[Trade Name], I.[Short Name],  
    SIL.[Dimension Group Code], I.[Group Description], SIL.[BOM Item No_]

And my result is

In this out of 21 rows i am having 17 rows as kit. I need to group this kit and to display in Old Product Code as Kit in one row instead of 17 rows.

Looking at what you are trying to do you might be able to use something like this to return the data:

;with data as
(
  select I.[Old Product Code], 
      I.[Trade Name], 
      I.[Short Name], 
      SIL.[BOM Item No_] ,
      CASE when SIL.[Dimension Group Code] = 'IOL' 
          then I.[Group Description] 
          else I.[Short Name] END as GD,
      CASE when SIL.[BOM Item No_] <> '' 
          then 'Kit' end CombinedKit
  from SalesInvoiceHeader SIH
  inner join SalesInvoiceLine  SIL
    on SIH.No_ = SIL.[Document No_] 
  inner join Item I 
    on I.No_ =  SIL.No_ 
  where SIL.[Document No_] = 'PEXP1213-153' 
),
d2 as
(
  select [Old Product Code],
    [Trade Name],
    [Short Name],
    [BOM Item No_],
    GD,
    CombinedKit,
    row_number() 
      over(partition by CombinedKit order by [Old Product Code]) rn
  from data
) 
select 
    case when combinedkit = 'kit' 
        then 'Kit' else [Old Product Code] end  [Old Product Code],
    [Trade Name],
    [Short Name],
    [BOM Item No_],
    GD
    --, CombinedKit
from d2
where (CombinedKit = 'Kit' and rn = 1)
  or (CombinedKit is null)

Edit, if you want to order this in a specific way you can use Order By with a CASE statement:

;with data as
(
  select I.[Old Product Code], 
      I.[Trade Name], 
      I.[Short Name], 
      SIL.[BOM Item No_] ,
      CASE when SIL.[Dimension Group Code] = 'IOL' 
          then I.[Group Description] 
          else I.[Short Name] END as GD,
      CASE when SIL.[BOM Item No_] <> '' 
          then 'Kit' end CombinedKit
  from SalesInvoiceHeader SIH
  inner join SalesInvoiceLine  SIL
    on SIH.No_ = SIL.[Document No_] 
  inner join Item I 
    on I.No_ =  SIL.No_ 
  where SIL.[Document No_] = 'PEXP1213-153' 
),
d2 as
(
  select [Old Product Code],
    [Trade Name],
    [Short Name],
    [BOM Item No_],
    GD,
    CombinedKit,
    row_number() 
      over(partition by CombinedKit order by [Old Product Code]) rn
  from data
) 
select 
    case when combinedkit = 'kit' 
        then 'Kit' else [Old Product Code] end  [Old Product Code],
    [Trade Name],
    [Short Name],
    [BOM Item No_],
    GD
    --, CombinedKit
from d2
where (CombinedKit = 'Kit' and rn = 1)
  or (CombinedKit is null) 
order by 
  case when combinedkit = 'kit' then 0 else 1 end, [Old Product Code]
