The reason for creating a sql statement the way you show is to conform to SQL standard. I'm guessing you are expecting to see both tables in the from, and then instead of JOIN.....see wms_ITRN.Sku = Inventory.primary_reference in the "Where" clause.

I forget where, but in certain circumstances, matching tables thru "Where" will not work.
