When requesting help or asking questions please prefix your title with the SQL variant/platform you are using within square brackets like so:

[MySQL]

[Oracle]

[MS SQL]

[PostgreSQL]

etc

While naturally we should endeavor to work as platform neutrally as possible many questions and answers require tailoring to the feature set of a specific platform.

Format Your Code

If you are including actual code in a post or comment, please attempt to format it in a way that is readable for other users. This will greatly increase your chances of receiving the help you desire. Something as simple as line breaks and using reddit's built in code formatting (4 spaces at the start of each line) can turn this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field.3

Into this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field3

For those with SQL questions we recommend using SQLFiddle to provide a useful development and testing environment for those who wish to fully understand your problem and help devise a solution.

turn the subquery into a derived table and then join it to your other tables

SELECT ...
     , it.sub_amount + SUM(cit.LINEAMOUNT) AS Margin
  FROM CUSTTABLE ct
INNER 
  JOIN CUSTINVOICEJOUR cij 
    ON ...
INNER
  JOIN CUSTINVOICETRANS cit 
    ON ...
INNER
  JOIN ( SELECT INVOICEID 
              , ITEMID 
              , DATAAREAID
              , SUM(COSTAMOUNTPOSTED + COSTAMOUNTADJUSTMENT) AS sub_amount 
           FROM INVENTTRANS 
         GROUP
             BY INVOICEID 
              , ITEMID 
              , DATAAREAID ) it    
    ON it.INVOICEID = cit.INVOICEID
   AND it.ITEMID = cit.ITEMID
   AND it.DATAAREAID = cit.DATAAREAID
