A couple of points to mention -
a) sysdate is a function that can be used directly in an expression, so you don't need the "select ... from dual"
b) I would always convert dates explicitly, because otherwise you are depending on the date format set for your database instance and session, and that format is subject to change.
c) If you want all values for a particular month, e.g. all values for the month of June 2001, your comparison should be written as
where ... date_field >= to_date ('20010601', 'YYYYMMDD') and date_field < ('20010701', 'YYYYMMDD') ... all values for the current month could be found with the following comparison: where ... date_field >= trunc (sysdate, 'MM') and date_field < trunc (last_day (sysdate)) + 1
trunc (sysdate, 'MM') will return the first day of the current month. It is well worth the time spent reading the manual on SQL date functions.
Remember that Oracle date fields can contain time values as well.
That being said, I would rewrite the query as follows, and I think this may eliminate the error. (P.S. I don't know which line you had "in bold" since your message arrived in text format.)
INSERT INTO AWW_ISSUED
SELECT ALL INV.MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID,
SUM(INV.MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS.TRANSACTION_QUANTITY) RECEIVED
FROM INV.MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS
WHERE (INV.MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS.ORGANIZATION_ID=3
AND INV.MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS.TRANSACTION_TYPE_ID
IN (1, 31, 32, 33,
34, 36, 40, 41, 42, 18, 2, 50, 51, 12, 61, 21, 4, 80)
AND INV.MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS.TRANSACTION_QUANTITY > 0)
AND INV.MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS.TRANSACTION_DATE
BETWEEN to_date ('20010601', 'YYYYMMDD')
and to_date ('200010630', 'YYYYMMDD')
AND INV.MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS.TRANSACTION_DATE
BETWEEN trunc (sysdate, 'MM') and last_day (sysdate)
GROUP BY INV.MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID ;
