Good to hear that you figured it out, Olaf. Sorry for misleading you and writing code that returned records if TT.MINB > 0 regardless of ls.menge. You can still reduce your query by one line if you want, LS.MENGE IS NOT NULL can simply be removed.

The statements before the WHERE condition are part of the LEFT JOIN. Typically, that's where you put criteria relating to the right table. If you write such criteria in the WHERE clause, they could (logically speaking) turn the LEFT JOIN into an INNER JOIN.
