Sales report query - some help?

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to create a report that goes all trough the sales documents by line showing the status.
The problem is that the JOIN is multiplying the rows of the documents.
Maybe someone did something similar in the past?
SELECT distinct T0.[U_ProjectCoTi] , T0.[U_ProjectName], T0.[CardCode], T0.[CardName],
T0.[DocNum] as 'SO Num.', (T0.DocTotal - T0.VatSum) as 'SO Net Amount',
T0.[DocDate] as 'SO Date',
Case when (T1.[LineStatus] = 'O') then 'Open'
     when (T1.[LineStatus]= 'C' and T1.[Trgetentry] = ' ') then 'Cancelled'
     when (T1.[LineStatus] = 'C' and T1.[Trgetentry] != ' ') then 'Closed'
End as 'SO Line Status',
T3.[DocNum] as 'Del. Num.', T2.Linetotal as 'Del. Row Amount',
T3.[DocDate] as 'Del Date',
Case when (T2.[LineStatus] = 'O') then 'Open'
     when (T2.[LineStatus]= 'C' and T2.[Trgetentry] = ' ') then 'Cancelled'
     when (T2.[LineStatus] = 'C' and T2.[Trgetentry] != ' ') then 'Closed'
End as 'Del. Line Status',
T5.[docnum] as 'Inv. Num.', 
T4.Linetotal as 'Inv. Row Amount', T5.[DocDate] as 'Inv Date',
Case when (T4.[LineStatus] = 'O' and T5.DocStatus = 'O') then 'Open'
     when (T4.[LineStatus]= 'O' and T5.DocStatus = 'C') then 'Closed'
     when (T4.[LineStatus] = 'C' and T5.DocStatus = 'C') then 'Closed'
End as 'AR Inv. Line Status'
FROM ORDR T0 Left join rdr1 t1 on t0.docentry = t1.docentry
     Left JOIN DLN1 T2 on t1.trgetentry = t2.docentry
     Left join odln t3 on t2.docentry = t3.docentry
     left join inv1 t4 on t2.trgetentry = t4.docentry
     left join oinv t5 on t5.docentry = t4.docentry

Hi Cynthia,
I am not 100% sure that I get what you are trying to do, but could it not be an idea to use Union in the query and create separate queries for each document instead of joining Orders, Deliveries and Invoices.
Something like:
Select 'Sales Order', docnum, docstatus from ordr
union
Select 'Delivery', docnum, docstatus from odln
union
Select 'AR Invoice', docnum docstatus from oinv
Obviously this is just a suggestion on the structure, then in each query you need to do the join with the lines etc etc.
Hope it helps,
Jesper
