Lets try to simplify it:
CREATE SQL VIEW apinquiry AS ;
select * from awards!apmaster, sum(apmaster.tranamount) as sumamount;
  from apmaster ;
  GROUP BY invoicenum, ORDER BY vendornum, invoicenum HAVING sumamount <> 0
The HAVING clause says to just choose sumamount values that are <> 0, and the rest matches your specs I think.
