Query to find open period in inventory

Question

Hi all,
Please help me to create an sql statement to find the periods that are open in inventory. I created the script below but it gives me duplicate values. Is there any other way other than putting DISTINCT keyword to get rid of these duplicates. Do i miss some conditions?
select DISTINCT o.name, d.inventory_enabled_flag, a.period_name, to_number(a.period_year || lpad(a.period_num,4,'0'))
from hr.hr_organization_information h, apps.org_acct_periods a, hr.hr_all_organization_units o, apps.org_organization_definitions d
where period_name != TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MON')||'-'||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'RR')
and h.organization_id = a.organization_id
and a.organization_id = d.organization_id
and o.organization_id = d.operating_unit
and a.open_flag = 'Y'
and h.org_information1 = 'INV'
ORDER BY 1, 4 DESCThanks
