Postgresql SQL Select items from table1 based on a condition from table2

I am trying to select items from table1 which has a child table2 there is a third table3 involved.

Select j.ccmasterid, 
(Select sum(i.ccmatpullqty) From table2 i 
 Where i.ccmasterid = j.ccmasterid)  pulled
 from table1 j
INNER JOIN table3 s on j.ccstatus = s.sysstatusid and s.ccopenjob=false
where j.ccmasterid LIKE 'W%' and pulled = 0

This generates an error:

ERROR: column "pulled" does not exist LINE 6: where j.ccmasterid LIKE 'W%' and pulled = 0

If I take the "and pulled = 0" out the the query, it works as one would expect producing a list of records from table1 with the sum of the values in table2 as pulled. 

ccmasterid    pulled
W106063            0
W100553            9
W100685            1

WHAT I can't figure out is how to select based on pulled being 0.

Avoid the correlated subquery which runs for every row in outer query and not once if joining to an aggregate query with GROUP BY clause:

SELECT j.ccmasterid
FROM table1 j
INNER JOIN table3 s 
    ON j.ccstatus = s.sysstatusid AND s.ccopenjob = false
INNER JOIN
   (SELECT i.ccmasterid, SUM(i.ccmatpullqty) AS pulled
    FROM table2 i 
    GROUP BY i.ccmasterid
   ) AS agg
    ON agg.ccmasterid = j.ccmasterid
WHERE j.ccmasterid LIKE 'W%' AND agg.pulled = 0

Even use CTE

WITH agg AS
    (SELECT i.ccmasterid, SUM(i.ccmatpullqty) AS pulled
     FROM table2 i 
     GROUP BY i.ccmasterid)

SELECT j.ccmasterid
FROM table1 j
INNER JOIN table3 s 
    ON j.ccstatus = s.sysstatusid AND s.ccopenjob = false
INNER JOIN agg
    ON agg.ccmasterid = j.ccmasterid
WHERE j.ccmasterid LIKE 'W%' AND agg.pulled = 0

Change this query into a subquery, and move WHERE condition to the outer query:

SELECT * FROM (
   Select j.ccmasterid, 
   (Select sum(i.ccmatpullqty) From table2 i 
    Where i.ccmasterid = j.ccmasterid)  pulled
    from table1 j
   INNER JOIN table3 s on j.ccstatus = s.sysstatusid and s.ccopenjob=false
   where j.ccmasterid LIKE 'W%'
) x
WHERE  pulled = 0
