Have this sql-code:
SELECT distinct
CUST.ABC_FORECASTGROUPID,
FORCAST.DESCRIPTION,
SALE.ITEMID,
sum(SALE.QTYORDERED),
DATACELLS.cellvalue,
cast(year(SALE.CONFIRMEDDLV) AS varchar(4)) + cast(DATEPART(week,SALE.CONFIRMEDDLV) as varchar(2))
FROM
[hgf-sql01].[hfgh-axdb5-drift].[DBO].[SALESLINE] AS SALE
INNER JOIN
[hgf-sql01].[hfgh-axdb5-drift].[DBO].[CUSTTABLE] AS CUST
ON
(
((SALE.CUSTACCOUNT = CUST.ACCOUNTNUM) AND
(SALE.DATAAREAID COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT = CUST.DATAAREAID COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT))
)
INNER JOIN
[hgf-sql01].[bizview_hfs].[dat].[data_cells] AS DATACELLS
ON
(
((CUST.ABC_FORECASTGROUPID COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT = DATACELLS.ws_name COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT) OR
(CUST.ABC_FORECASTGROUPID=' ')) AND (DATACELLS.version_id='PU4012') AND (DATACELLS.valtype_id='ANT') AND
(DATACELLS.timeunit_id='ISOWEEK') AND (DATACELLS.timeval_id=cast(year(SALE.CONFIRMEDDLV) AS varchar(4)) + cast(DATEPART(week,SALE.CONFIRMEDDLV) as varchar(2)))
)
INNER JOIN
[hgf-sql01].[bizview_hfs].[dat].[data_dimensions] AS DIMENTIONS

It is very hard to tell without the execution plan. Can you please let me know the index details for the tables SALESLINE and CUSTTABLE?
Is CUSTACCOUNT, ACCOUNTNUM and DATAAREAID are indexed columns?

It means that your INNER JOINs are yielding duplicates. Maybe you do not have the correct fields involved in the ON clause. In other words, check if multiple columns combine to form the unique identifier for the matches.
Note: if you use a LEFT JOIN from the SALESLINE table, you will get 1,039,137 (i.e., over a million) rows. Therefore, if your intent is to get all the CUSTTABLE records and only their matches, then use INNER JOIN or make CUSTTABLE the left-most table in the LEFT JOIN. If you get more rows than expected, then resolve the duplicates.
As a final thought, the issue may be that the duplicates are appropriate. A customer should have multiple matches in a sales order table, especially sales order lines—one sales order can have multiple items or delivery lines. Therefore, what you may need is a derived query to aggregate SALESLINE data by customer.
For example:
You can make this by customer, by year, by item. Just note that the number of rows will be more than what is in the customer table by the amount of variability in sales. The more items per customer, the more years per customer, et cetera, the more lines per customer in the final SELECT.
I hope that makes sense.
Best regards and happy coding,

LEFT JOIN (

FROM SALESLINE
GROUP BY CUSTACCOUNT
) SALE(CUSTACCOUNT, QTYORDERED) ON SALE.CUSTACCOUNT = CUST.ACCOUNTNUM
You can make this by customer, by year, by item. Just note that the number of rows will be more than what is in the customer table by the amount of variability in sales. The more items per customer, the more years per customer, et cetera, the more lines per customer in the final SELECT.
