Converting query to use joins

Question

My current query works perfectly.
SELECT so.* FROM shipping_order so WHERE (so.submitter = 20) OR (so.requestor_id IN (SELECT poc.objid FROM point_of_contact poc WHERE poc.ain = 20)) OR so.objid IN (SELECT ats.shipping_order_id FROM ac_to_so ats WHERE (ats.access_control_id IN (selectac. objid FROM access_control ac WHERE ac.ain = 20 OR ac.group IN ('buyers', 'managers'))))
But when I try to create it using join statements I do not get the correct results, or any results for that matter.
Here is the query with joins.
SELECT so.* FROM shipping_order so INNER JOIN point_of_contact ON (so.requestor_id = poc.objid AND poc.ain = 20) INNER JOIN ac_to_so ats ON (so.objid = ats.shipping_order_id) INNER JOIN access_control ac ON (ats.access_control_id = ac.objid AND (ac.group IN ('buyers', 'managers') OR ac.ain = 20)) WHERE (so.submitter = 20)
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong. I tried outer joins as well and did not get the results either.
TIA.

Oh sorry. Here is the sql. Thanks!
create table point_of_contact
     objid number not null,
     ain number not null,
     constraint point_of_contact_pk primary key (objid)

     objid number not null,
     ain number,
     user_group varchar2(64 byte),
     constraint access_control_pk primary key (objid)
create table shipping_order
     objid number not null,
     submitter number not null,
     requestor_id number not null,
     constraint shipping_order_pk primary key (objid)
create table ac_to_so
     shipping_order_id number not null,
     access_control_id number not null,
     constraint ac_to_so_pk primary key (shipping_order_id, access_control_id),

select so.* from shipping_order so where (so.submitter = 20)
