I have a select list of fields that I need to select to get the results I need, however, I would like to insert only a chosen few of these fields into a table. I am getting the error, "The select list for the INSERT statement contains more items than the insert list. The number of SELECT values must match the number of INSERT columns."
How can I do this?

Insert Query:
insert into tsi_payments (PPID, PTICKETNUM, PLINENUM, PAMOUNT, PPATPAY, PDEPOSITDATE, PENTRYDATE, PHCPCCODE)
SELECT DISTINCT
tri_IDENT.IDA AS PPID,
tri_Ldg_Tran.CLM_ID AS PTicketNum,
tri_ClaimChg.Line_No AS PLineNum,
tri_Ldg_Tran.Tran_Amount AS PAmount,

CASE WHEN tln_PaymentTypeMappings.PTMMarsPaymentTypeCode = 'PATPMT'
THEN tri_ldg_tran.tran_amount * tln_PaymentTypeMappings.PTMMultiplier
ELSE 0 END AS PPatPay,

tri_Ldg_Tran.Create_Date AS PDepositDate,
tri_Ldg_Tran.Tran_Date AS PEntryDate,
tri_ClaimChg.Hsp_Code AS PHCPCCode,
tri_Ldg_Tran.Adj_Type,
tri_Ldg_Tran.PRS_ID,
tri_Ldg_Tran.Create_Time,
tri_Ldg_Tran.Adj_Group,
tri_Ldg_Tran.Payer_ID,
tri_Ldg_Tran.TRN_ID,
tri_ClaimChg.Primary_Claim,
tri_IDENT.Version
FROM [AO2\AO2].MARS_SYS.DBO.tln_PaymentTypeMappings tln_PaymentTypeMappings RIGHT OUTER JOIN
qs_new_pmt_type ON tln_PaymentTypeMappings.PTMClientPaymentDesc =
qs_new_pmt_type.New_Pmt_Type RIGHT OUTER JOIN
tri_Ldg_Tran RIGHT OUTER JOIN
tri_IDENT LEFT OUTER JOIN
tri_ClaimChg ON tri_IDENT.Pat_Id1 =
tri_ClaimChg.Pat_ID1 ON tri_Ldg_Tran.PRS_ID =
tri_ClaimChg.PRS_ID AND
tri_Ldg_Tran.Chg_TRN_ID =
tri_ClaimChg.Chg_TRN_ID
AND tri_Ldg_Tran.Pat_ID1 = tri_IDENT.Pat_Id1 LEFT OUTER JOIN
tri_Payer ON tri_Ldg_Tran.Payer_ID
= tri_Payer.Payer_ID ON qs_new_pmt_type.Pay_Type
= tri_Ldg_Tran.Pay_Type AND
qs_new_pmt_type.Tran_Type = tri_Ldg_Tran.Tran_Type
WHERE (tln_PaymentTypeMappings.PTMMarsPaymentTypeCode <> N'Chg')
AND (tln_PaymentTypeMappings.PTMClientCode = 'SR')
AND (tri_ClaimChg.Primary_Claim = 1)
AND (tri_IDENT.Version = 0)

You are trying to insert 16 columns from your SELECT statement into 8 columns of the table in your insert statement. Include only those columns in your select statement that are to be inserted into your table. The number of columns
has to match.

Drop these from your select:
tri_Ldg_Tran.Adj_Type,
tri_Ldg_Tran.PRS_ID,
tri_Ldg_Tran.Create_Time,
tri_Ldg_Tran.Adj_Group,
tri_Ldg_Tran.Payer_ID,
tri_Ldg_Tran.TRN_ID,
tri_ClaimChg.Primary_Claim,
tri_IDENT.Version
