Query to mimic the items tab of the Sales Analysis report.

Question

Hi there,
I'm currently looking to create a query that mimics the behaviour of the Sales Analysis report in B1. The items tab of the Sales Analysis report provides all the data I require - the only issue is that I would like to merge this data with some other data regarding current on hand stock quantities etc. and therefore I would like to be able to pull out the query behind the Sales Analysis report.
I'm assuming this cannot be done and therefore I'm attempting to build a query to replicate the results. The query needs to show Item No, Item Description, Quantity Sold, Sales Amt (in system currency), Gross Profit and Gross Profit % for items within a given period.
If this can be done relatively easily, can the query then be modified to show all items (including items that haven't sold in the date range) merely with '0' for Quantity Sold, Sales Amt etc. if the item hasn't been sold in the period, and the appropriate figures if each of these columns if the item has sold. I assume some kind of CASE statement can be used to generate this.
So the query needs to show Item No, Item Description, Current quantity in stock, Quantity Sold, Sales Amt (in system currency), Gross Profit and Gross Profit % for all items within a given date range.
I hope you can assist me with this problem.
Thanks
Grant.

Hi,
Thanks Gordon that was exactly what I needed.
I've been trying to add some additional columns to the query but I'm experiencing some errors and I can't quite tell why.
Basically, here's the code from another working query I have which I wish to merge into the query you've suggested above:
SELECT T0.[ItemCode],
T0.[ItemName],
T3.[ItmsGrpNam],
T4.[Name] AS [Sub-Category],
T5.[Name] AS [Sub-Sub-Category],
T0.[CardCode] AS [Pref Supplier],
T6.[FirmName] AS [Brand],
T0.[U_Range],
T0.[OnHand],
CASE WHEN T0.[StockValue] = 0 THEN 0 ELSE T0.[StockValue] END AS [StockValue],
T1.[Price] AS [PBK GBP Price],
CASE WHEN T0.[OnHand] = 0 THEN T0.[LastPurPrc] ELSE T0.[StockValue]/T0.[OnHand] END AS [Ave Cost],
CASE WHEN T0.[OnHand] = 0 THEN T1.[Price]-T0.[LastPurPrc] ELSE CASE WHEN T0.[OnHand] > 0 THEN T1.[Price]-T0.[StockValue]/T0.[OnHand] END END AS [Margin],
CASE WHEN T0.[OnHand] = 0 AND T0.[LastPurPrc] = 0 THEN 0 ELSE CASE WHEN T0.[OnHand] > 0 AND (T0.[StockValue]/T0.[OnHand]) = 0 THEN 0 ELSE CASE WHEN T0.[OnHand] = 0 THEN (T1.[Price]-T0.[LastPurPrc])/T1.[Price]*100 ELSE CASE WHEN T0.[OnHand] > 0 THEN (T1.[Price]-T0.[StockValue]/T0.[OnHand])/T1.[Price]*100 END END END END AS [Margin %],
T0.[LastPurPrc]
FROM [dbo].[OITM]  T0 INNER JOIN [dbo].[ITM1]  T1 ON T0.ItemCode = T1.ItemCode INNER JOIN [dbo].[OITB]  T3 ON T0.ItmsGrpCod = T3.ItmsGrpCod LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[@U_SUBCATEGORY]  T4 ON T0.U_Subcategory = T4.Code LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[@U_SUBSUBCATEGORY]  T5 ON T0.U_SubSubCategory = T5.Code INNER JOIN OMRC T6 ON T0.FirmCode = T6.FirmCode
WHERE T0.[OnHand] >= 0 and T0.U_Range not in ('E','X')  
ORDER BY T0.[ItemCode]
Essentially I just wish to add the fields which are specified in the query above, but not in the query you've already suggested:
SELECT T0.ItemCode,
Max(T0.ItemName),
Max(IsNull(T0.OnHand,0)) 'In Stock',
SUM(IsNull(T1.Quantity,0)) 'Quantity',
Sum(IsNull(T1.LineTotal,0)) 'Sales Amt',
SUM(IsNull(T1.GrssProfit,0)) 'Gross Profit',
Case WHEN Sum(Isnull(T1.LineTotal,0)) = 0 THEN 0 ELSE
SUM(IsNUll(T1.GrssProfit,0))/Sum(Isnull(T1.LineTotal,0)) * 100 END 'Gross Profit %'
FROM dbo.OITM T0
LEFT JOIN dbo.INV1 T1 ON T1.ItemCode=T0.ItemCode
LEFT JOIN dbo.OINV T2 ON T2.DocEntry=T1.DocEntry AND T2.DocDate Between [%0] AND [%1]
GROUP BY T0.ItemCode
I was hoping it would be fairly straight forward but so far I've had limited success.
What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance!
