Query returning different number of rows, results in crosstab error

I get this error with my query, but I can't figure out what is wrong with it:

Query-specified return tuple has 135 columns but crosstab returns 295.

And here's my query: (The part highlighted in bold returns same number of rows when run separately in pgAdmin.)

SELECT X.*, pi.productcode, pi.productitemdesc, pi.retailsalesprice, cat.productcategorydesc FROM ( 
SELECT * FROM crosstab ( 
'SELECT a.productitem AS productitemid, l.locationcode, (CASE WHEN SUM(a.netamount) IS NOT NULL THEN SUM(a.netamount) ELSE 0 END) || ''#'' || (CASE WHEN SUM(a.quantity) IS NOT NULL THEN SUM(a.quantity) ELSE 0 END) AS sales_qty FROM invoiceitem a INNER JOIN invoiceinfo b ON a.invoice = b.invoiceid INNER JOIN locationinfo l ON b.location = l.locationid WHERE b.status !=2 AND l.locationtype = 1 AND l.status = 1 AND TO_CHAR (b.invoicedate, ''YYYY-MM-DD'')>=''2018-03-01'' AND TO_CHAR (b.invoicedate, ''YYYY-MM-DD'')<=''2018-03-03'' GROUP BY a.productitem, l.locationcode ORDER BY a.productitem',

AND 

SELECT l.locationcode FROM locationinfo l INNER JOIN invoiceinfo b ON b.location = l.locationid
 WHERE b.status !=2 AND l.locationtype = 1 AND l.status = 1 AND TO_CHAR (b.invoicedate, ''YYYY-MM-DD'')>=''2018-03-01'' AND TO_CHAR (b.invoicedate, ''YYYY-MM-DD'')&lt;=''2018-03-03'' GROUP BY l.locationcode order by l.locationcode

When run seperately, I get 295 results which is correct. However putting it together in the whole query gets the error.

The manual:

The remaining output columns must have the type of the last column of the source_sql query's result, and there must be exactly as many of them as there are rows in the category_sql query's result.

crosstab(text, text) with a dynamic (!) SELECT query as 2nd parameter is very error prone, since the output column list is static. You should also generate the output column list dynamically. Example:

That aside, the different number of rows returned from the same query, may very well be due to a different timezone setting in the two different sessions.

You have the expression TO_CHAR(b.invoicedate, 'YYYY-MM-DD') in your predicates. If b.invoicedate is type timestamptz the result depends on the timezone setting. Consider:

SET timezone = '+10';
SELECT TO_CHAR(timestamptz '2018-04-07 23:30+0', 'YYYY-MM-DD');

to_char
----------
2018-04-08

SET timezone = '-10';
SELECT TO_CHAR(timestamptz '2018-04-07 23:30+0', 'YYYY-MM-DD');

to_char
----------
2018-04-07

Solution

To remove the dependency on the timezone setting, use absolute values.

I suggest this as 2nd parameter:

$$
SELECT l.locationcode
FROM   locationinfo l
JOIN   invoiceinfo  b ON b.location = l.locationid
WHERE  b.status <> 2 AND l.locationtype = 1 AND l.status = 1
AND    b.invoicedate >=  timestamptz '2018-03-01 Europe/Vienna'
AND    b.invoicedate <   timestamptz '2018-03-04 Europe/Vienna'
GROUP  BY 1
ORDER  BY 1
$$

Replace Europe/Vienna in my example with the time zone name defining your dates.
Note 2018-03-04, to include all of 2018-03-03 like you intended.
