MYSQL: How do select column depending on data from another table?

i have three tables:

Technician - which contains data of the name of tech and which stock provider they get their stock from

Stock order - the list of items that they have ordered

Stock code - a list of the name of the items and the different codes depending on the provider.

What i am trying to do run a query that selects the relevant product code depending on which provider the technician gets his stock from as per the outcome table below

Use CASE WHEN to do conditional pickup for code, based on value of stock_supplier from technician table.

SELECT 
    so.tech_name 'Tech Name',
    so.product_name Name,
    so.category Category,
    CASE t.stock_supplier
        WHEN 'Provider 1' THEN sc.PROVIDER_1_PRODUCT_CODE
        WHEN 'Provider 2' THEN sc.PROVIDER_2_PRODUCT_CODE
    END AS Code
FROM stock_order so
INNER JOIN technician t ON so.tech_name = t.technician
INNER JOIN stock_codes sc ON so.product_name = sc.item;
