please see below sample data and query

Create table #t1
(cs_no nvarchar(35), model nvarchar(35), audit_date datetime)
insert into #t1 (cs_no,model, audit_date)values('9000000000019761824','TOPR3000430PPH664SIL','2015-01-03 19:23:54.980')
insert into #t1 (cs_no,model, audit_date)values('990002595125962','COR3003110VS980','2015-05-09 14:56:41.447')
insert into #t1 (cs_no,model, audit_date)values('990002595125962','	COR3003110VS980','2015-06-29 12:09:17.160')


Create table #t2
(cs_no nvarchar(35), es_num nvarchar(35), prodid nvarchar(35), audit_date datetime, ctype varchar(36))
insert into #t2(cs_no, es_num , prodid , audit_date, ctype) values('9000000000019761824','354403060637509','PRC005271772','2015-03-20 16:43:07.000','PROD')

What is the expected result?

thanks for the reply.

desired result:

Probably you just need ORDER BY inside the cross apply:

select a.*,x.audit_date, x.prodid, x.ctype 
from #t1 a
outer apply 
(select top  1 audit_date, prodid, ctype from  #t2 b where b.audit_date >=a.audit_date and b.cs_no=a.cs_no 
order by b.audit_date)x

Thank you. Just made a different scenario or twist the requirements getting the nearest receipt date before the fg_enddedate but the desired result is not accurate. below is the ddl an sample desired result.
