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.)

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'')<=''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:
Dynamic alternative to pivot with CASE and GROUP BY
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.
to_char() is expensive complication in this place to begin with. Drop that and adjust the predicate.
Provide timestamptz values to match your column. This also allows indexes to be used (if applicable).

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.
Now this is a simple insert query with one subquery and it's working perfectly:
INSERT INTO CSolutions..Report2
SELECT Nov.Chain, CG.Grouping, reg.code as regcode,reg.pname,reg.fname,reg.sname, SUM(NS.Currency) as sumeur , sum(ns2.kpl) as sumkpl,0,0,0,0
FROM CSolutions..NovSales NS,CSolutions..NSaleskpl NS2, CSolutions..NovCGroup CG, sales..reg_eng reg,
(SELECT DISTINCT P.Code, Nov.Chain
FROM Register..Pcy P
INNER JOIN Register..TCustomer TC ON (P.Code = TC.PCode)
INNER JOIN CSolutions..Novies2 Nov ON (TC.Code = Nov.TCode)
) AS Nov
WHERE NS.SpCode = CG.SpCode and ns.spcode = ns2.spcode AND Ns.PCode = Nov.Code
and ns.spcode = reg.code
and ns.pcode = ns2.pcode
**and NS.SalesMonth = '201205'
and NS2.SalesMonth = '201205'**
GROUP BY Nov.Chain, CG.Grouping , reg.code,reg.pname,reg.fname,reg.sname
This is derivate of the same query, but it's not working correctly:
INSERT INTO CSolutions..Report2
SELECT Nov.Chain, CG.Grouping, reg.code as regcode,reg.pname,reg.fname,reg.sname, SUM(NS.Currency) as sumeur , sum(ns2.kpl) as sumkpl,0,0,0,0
FROM CSolutions..NovSales NS,CSolutions..NSaleskpl NS2, CSolutions..NovCGroup CG, sales..reg_eng reg,
(SELECT DISTINCT P.Code, Nov.Chain
FROM Register..Pcy P
INNER JOIN Register..TCustomer TC ON (P.Code = TC.PCode)
INNER JOIN CSolutions..Novies2 Nov ON (TC.Code = Nov.TCode)
) AS Nov
WHERE NS.SpCode = CG.SpCode and ns.spcode = ns2.spcode AND Ns.PCode = Nov.Code
and ns.spcode = reg.code
and ns.pcode = ns2.pcode
**and NS.SalesMonth between '201201' and '201205'
and NS2.SalesMonth between '201201' and '201205'**
GROUP BY Nov.Chain, CG.Grouping , reg.code,reg.pname,reg.fname,reg.sname
This will give 5 times the 5 month sum amount,
I am a dyslexic and i have hard time to spot the error, I hope someone can help me ?? :)
There is no join on the salesmonth in CSolutions..NovSales and CSolutions..NSaleskpl NS2. In the frist query this does not matter because you are only looking at one salesmonth. In the second query I presume there are multiple salesmonth's as you are selecting a range of value from each table. You are getting a cross join because of this of salesmonth's because of this.
