I am trying to insert data into certain columns of my table and i keep getting the below error message.

Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'RKEY', table 'Test-Live.dbo.tempWIPAeroV1'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.

I am not even trying to enter anything in the RKEY column

What I have tried:

<pre> Insert into tempWIPAeroV1 (WIPMATL,WIP_sold) (select Material_cost ,Sold_cost  from NewValues  join tempWIPAeroV1 on  tempWIPAeroV1.RKEY = NewValues.RKEY )

AS your using inner join on condition of "tempWIPAeroV1.RKEY = NewValues.RKEY " so how u get null records on Rkey column? use filter condition to avoid null records.

The column RKey in your table does not allow a NULL value.
When you insert a new record & do not provide a value for this field, the database will set the value to NULL.

Therefore you have 3 options;
a) Edit the field to accept a NULL value as follows
1) Open SQL Enterprise Manager
2) Right-click the Table & select Design
3) Scroll to the column & tick the Allow Nulls field
4) Close the table - click Yes when prompted to save
b) Set a Default value for the field
1) Open SQL Enterprise Manager
2) Right-click the Table & select Design
3) Select the correct column
4) Set the Default value or Binding field based on the field type
5) Close the table - click Yes when prompted to save
c) Update your Insert statement as below (example only)

SQL

Insert into tempWIPAeroV1 (WIPMATL,WIP_sold, RKey) (select Material_cost ,Sold_cost, RKEY  from NewValues  join tempWIPAeroV1 on  tempWIPAeroV1.RKEY = NewValues.RKEY )

Solution 2

INSERT INTO tempWIPAeroV1 (WIPMATL,WIP_sold, RKey)
                (SELECT Material_cost ,Sold_cost,ISNULL(tempWIPAeroV1.RKEY,'') AS RKey  
                 FROM NewValues
                 LEFT JOIN tempWIPAeroV1 ON  (tempWIPAeroV1.RKEY = NewValues.RKEY) );
