MSSQL Query help

Hello there,

I have this query which is returning some redundant data. Can somebody please help me to correct this query. I have also attached the table relationship.

SELECT
    dbo.supplierOrder.sectionID,
    dbo.supplierOrder.supplierID,
    dbo.supplierOrder.supplierOrderNo,
    dbo.supplierOrder.supplierOrderCreated,
    dbo.supplierOrder.supplierOrderConfirmStatus,
    dbo.supplierOrderDetails.productID,
    dbo.supplierOrderDetails.orderQty,
    dbo.supplierOrderReceive.invoiceno,
    dbo.supplierOrderReceive.supplierInvoiceno,
    dbo.supplierOrderReceive.ID,
    dbo.supplierOrderReceiveDetail.qtyArrived
FROM
    dbo.supplierOrder
INNER JOIN
    dbo.supplierOrderDetails
ON
    (
        dbo.supplierOrderDetails.supplierOrderID = dbo.supplierOrder.ID)
INNER JOIN 
        dbo.supplierOrderReceive
ON  
     (        
       dbo.supplierOrderReceive.supplierOrderID = dbo.supplierOrder.ID)
INNER JOIN 
        dbo.supplierOrderReceiveDetail
ON  
     (        
       dbo.supplierOrderReceiveDetail.supplierOrderReceiveID = dbo.supplierOrderReceive.ID)       
WHERE
    dbo.supplierOrder.ID = 1 ;

here is the output that I get

which is not exactly what I was want. the last column qtyArrived should show only its related qty but here as you can see it is repeating for each of the productID

sectionID      supplierID      supplierOrderNo      supplierOrderCreated      supplierOrderConfirmStatus      productID      orderQty      invoiceno      supplierInvoiceno      ID      qtyArrived
1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      5      8      (null)      223444      1      2

1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      5      8      (null)      223444      1      8

1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      5      8      (null)      565333      2      4
1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      1      3      (null)      565333      2      4

I would use the keyword DISTINCT before
dbo.supplierOrderReceiveDetail.qtyArrived

no this give me error

 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'DISTINCT'.

I tried to add DISTINCT at the start and it ran the query but does not give me the desired result

I just verified the data you have provided , I am not able to get complete record duplication here
 ID and       qtyArrived
is differenct for all cloumns

ASKER

what do you mean. i have printed my result,it is duplicating the data. for e.g. for all the productID it is repeating the same qtyArrived. my final result should return only 4 records.
sectionID      supplierID      supplierOrderNo      supplierOrderCreated      supplierOrderConfirmStatus      productID      orderQty      invoiceno      supplierInvoiceno      ID      qtyArrived
1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      5      8      (null)      223444      1      2
1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      1      3      (null)      223444      1      2
1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      6      4      (null)      223444      1      2

you mean to say you need one record for this ? what will be that

i am expecting this

sectionID      supplierID      supplierOrderNo      supplierOrderCreated      supplierOrderConfirmStatus      productID      orderQty      invoiceno      supplierInvoiceno      ID      qtyArrived
1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      5      8      (null)      223444      1      8
1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      1      3      (null)      223444      1      2
1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      1      3      (null)      565333      2      1
1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      6      4      (null)      565333      2      4
Can you explain how you would derive those rows from the data you posted earlier?  I am not seeing any rhyme or reason.  Take that first row:
1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      5      8      (null)      223444      1      8

I assume it comes from the following rows:
1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      5      8      (null)      223444      1      2
1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      5      8      (null)      223444      1      8

Is it the"last" one that you are looking for?  If so, can you define the "last" one?
For the second row:
1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      1      3      (null)      223444      1      2

I am assuming it is coming from:
1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      1      3      (null)      223444      1      2
1      1      (null)      2013-12-10 12:35:03      true      1      3      (null)      223444      1      8

But here you appear to have picked the "first" one.  

Perhaps it does not matter which one is returned.

thanks for your comments.
see the invoice numbers in the result.  the idea is to get the products which the supplier has sent to the client. the products could have come in one batch or in small batches. the productid 1 has come in 2 batches(the orderQty by the client was 3 but it qtyArrived in 2 batches of 1 and 2). see the attached file.
