SELECT list is not in GROUP BY clause ERROR MySQL

I'm just a beginner in using MySQL commands. I've searched this error but their problems are not the same as mine. I'm having a hard time understanding the error where it says SELECT list is not in GROUP BY clause and contains nonaggregated column 'japorms.p.item_price' which is not functionally dependent on columns in GROUP BY clause; this is incompatible with sql_mode=only_full_group_by

I've searched also the meaning of functionally dependent but still failed to understand.

here is my query:

SELECT
  sum(od.item_qty) as item_qty,
  p.item_name as item_name,
  p.item_price as item_price, 
  od.size as size
from order_details as od, productmaster as p
where p.id = od.item_id 
group by p.item_name

If I remove the p.item_price and od.size from my query, it accepts the p.item_name . I wonder why because p.item_name and p.item_price are in the same table.

You can try something like this. When you use GROUP BY you should specify which column(s) are "grouped by" and which ones are aggregated with a function (eg. SUM, AVG,MIN, MAX, COUNT,...)

SELECT
  p.item_name as item_name,
  AVG(p.item_price) as item_price, 
  od.size as size,
  SUM(od.item_qty) as item_qty
from order_details as od
INNER JOIN productmaster as p ON p.id=od.item_id
group by p.item_name, od.size

you need to mention all columns, not being an aggregation function, in group by:

SELECT
  SUM(od.item_qty) AS item_qty,
  p.item_name AS item_name,
  p.item_price AS item_price, 
  od.size AS size
FROM order_details AS od, 
JOIN productmaster AS p ON p.id = od.item_id 
GROUP BY p.item_name, p.item_price, od.size

in this case, SUM() is such a function, as would be MAX, MIN, COUNT etc

(and changed to an explict written join)
