Invalid Use of Group Function

Question

Much of the query was put in variables, but for the purpose of this question I have included them in the query. Margin is the sum of all the alias queries above it ($margin).

I am getting the error:

SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1111 Invalid use of group function in company-performance-control.php on line 117

Here is my query:

$margin = $invoicesOut.'-'.$costs.'+'.$creditsIn.'-'.$creditsOut ;

$result = $dbh->query("SELECT CONCAT(MONTH(invoices_out.date), '/', YEAR(invoices_out.date)) AS theDate,
                           SUM(COALESCE(

I have narrowed it down to these:

SUM($creditsIn) AS creditsIn
SUM($creditsOut) AS creditsOut

Which are defined as:

$creditsIn = 'COALESCE(
                    (SELECT SUM(net)
                    FROM credit_notes_supplier, parts_trading_buying
                    WHERE credit_notes_supplier.partRef = parts_trading_buying.id
                    AND parts_trading_buying.enquiryRef = enquiries.id)
                  ,0
                  )' ;

    $creditsOut = 'COALESCE(
                    (SELECT SUM(net)
                    FROM credit_notes_customer, parts_trading
                    WHERE credit_notes_customer.partRef = parts_trading.id
                    AND parts_trading.enquiryRef = enquiries.id)
                   ,0
                   )' ;

What a big query!

Troubleshoot this. Simply remove each subquery one at a time and determine which query is causing this.
