How to avoid aggregate functions in recursive query's recursive term - sql

Question

I am having trouble getting around a sum() in the recursive term. Basically my problem is this.
Lets say 3 different finish products. 'ABC1', 'ABC2', 'ABC3' every one of them is made from 'ABC'. Every 'ABC' is made from 'AB'. Every 'AB' is made from 'A'. I went out and sold 10 of each 'ABC1', 'ABC2', 'ABC3'
I am trying to make a query give me a list of each item and how much I need of that item based on how much I have sold.
This is an example of the return that I am looking for
Item
Level
Sold
On Hand
Required
A
0
0
0
15
AB
1
0
10
25
ABC
2
10
0
25
ABC1
3
10
5
10
ABC2
3
10
5
10
ABC3
3
10
5
10
For a general table structure you would have
Item
item_id
item_onhand
AND
BOM
bom_product_id
bom_material_id
AND
Sales
sale_id
sale_item_id
sale_qty
I cant start at the top and go down in my case. because the dataset takes too long to process. So I have to start with all the sales and work up the tree from there.
My idea was to create a result for each level.
And then recursively go up the material tree. Something along the lines of
WITH RECURSIVE sales_req AS(
SELECT item_id,
SUM(sale_qty) AS sales_req_sold,
item_onhand AS sales_req_qoh
FROM sales JOIN item ON sales_item_id = item_id
GROUP BY item_id
UNION
SELECT
item_id,
SUM(sales_req_sold - sales_req_qoh),
item_onhand
FROM
bom
JOIN sales_req ON bom_product_id = sales_req.item_id
JOIN item mat ON bom_material_id = mat.item_id
WHERE sales_req_sold > sales_req_qoh
The first Query Returning Something Like this
Item
Required
ABC
10
ABC1
10
ABC2
10
ABC3
10
And The recursive portion returning something like this
Item
Required
Notes
ABC
15
( The sum of sales for "ABC1,ABC2,ABC3" minus the inventory for each one)
AB
25
( The sum of ABC requirements from 1,2 and 3 Plus the requirement for the sale of ABC)
A
15
( AB Minus the inventory on hand for AB)
I need some sort of alternate solution to sum function. However there are a few constraints. I have to start with the sales table. I cannot put a limit on the levels. In this example I have 4 levels and only one level has multiple parts on it. But there could be 7 levels and each level could have 3 parts on it. I can assume the top level to be 1 single item.

try this :
WITH RECURSIVE req AS(
SELECT item_id, item_onhand, SUM(sale_qty) AS item_sales
FROM sales INNER JOIN item ON sale_item_id = item_id
GROUP BY item_id, item_onhand
), accum (item_id, item_onhand, item_sales, item_req, level) AS (
SELECT item_id, item_onhand, item_sales, item_sales, 0
FROM req
UNION ALL
SELECT b.bom_product_id, a.item_onhand, a.item_sales, a.item_sales - a.item_onhand, a.level - 1
FROM accum AS a
INNER JOIN bom AS b ON b.bom_material_id = a.item_id
)
SELECT r.item_id, min(a.level) AS level, r.item_onhand AS on_hand, r.item_sales AS sold, sum(item_req) AS required
FROM accum AS a
INNER JOIN req AS r ON r.item_id = a.item_id
GROUP BY r.item_id, r.item_onhand, r.item_sales
ORDER BY level
