The order_details view is a join of the orders table to the other tables.

The order table contains the orders. 

Each order has a business partner which is in a separate table. p_id is the 
key, p_name is the name of the partner.

Each order is for a single vehicle, which must be of a specific mode. The 
models are also stored in a separate table. o_model is the attribute in the 
orders table that contains the key to the models table.

The output I'm getting is below, which is what I want. For each partner I get 
a total followed by a breakdown by model the orders for the current month.

key|p_id|    p_name      | total | ka | focus | c_max | s_max | fiesta | 
fusion | mondeo | galaxy | ranger | connect | transit | fiesta_van
