You still don't understand the comment i made yesterday. Make proper use of title. Such meaningless titles won't help anyone.

This may occur due to mismatch of data types limit. Check your two tables structure and data types with limits.

You are selecting values from table(Items) and insert into table(tbl_item_mst). For example, if you have column(companyname varchar(10)) in tbl_item_mst and matching column companyname nvarchar(max) from table(Items) it'll not match.
This is an example for a single column,

SQL

tbl_item_mst                        Items
varchar(10)                   !=   nvarchar(max)
CompanyName(varchar(10))      !=   ComapanyName(nvarchar(max))

So, here you can't merge 20 letters with 10 letters, this what the message(Msg 8152) shows. So please check all column data types with its limit.

If my words are not clear to you, refer here about this error,

This error occurs when your try to insert long inputs more than what you declared in that column .

For eg:

SQL

create table testing (Firstname nvarchar(5))--note nvarchar(5)
insert into testing  values('Kings')--Inserted Successfully
insert into testing  values('KingFisher')--Error Occurs

Here,I have created the Column Firstname with nvarchar(5).So the Column will accept only 5 digits of characters only .it will not accept more than 5 digits.

String or binary data would be truncated.
