MySQL - Joining multiple select statements

Question

I initially tried fetching data using individual queries which took too much of resources, so I am trying to combine the queries in order to reduce the time taken. The first select works fine in itself but I want to combine with the second select in order to reduce the time taken.

Current error: #1241 - Operand should contain 1 column(s)

SELECT (SELECT sc.description AS description, 
           sc.maincode, 
           sc.controlcode, 
           sc.subcode, 
           ( ob.debitbalance - ob.creditbalance ) AS mainbalance 
    FROM   subcode AS sc 
           LEFT JOIN openingbalance AS ob 
                  ON ( sc.maincode = ob.maincode 
                       AND sc.controlcode = ob.controlcode 
                       AND sc.subcode = ob.subcode ) 
    GROUP  BY sc.maincode, 
              sc.controlcode, 
              sc.subcode 
    ORDER  BY sc.maincode, 
              sc.controlcode, 
              sc.subcode ASC) AS test, 
   (SELECT Sum(v.debit)                               AS totaldebit, 
           Sum(v.credit)                              AS totalcredit, 
           ( mainbalance + totaldebit - totalcredit ) AS openingbalance 
    FROM   subcode AS sc 
           LEFT JOIN voucher AS v 
                  ON ( sc.maincode = v.maincode 
                       AND sc.controlcode = v.controlcode 
                       AND sc.subcode = v.subcode ) 
    WHERE  Substring(v.voucherdate, 1, 7) < '07-2019' 
    GROUP  BY sc.maincode, 
              sc.controlcode, 
              sc.subcode 
    ORDER  BY sc.maincode, 
              sc.controlcode, 
              sc.subcode ASC) AS test2

Table structure is as follows:

 Subcode Table
    +----------+-------------+---------+--------------+
    | Maincode | Controlcode | Subcode | Description  |
    +----------+-------------+---------+--------------+
    |       01 |          01 |     123 | Test Account |
    |       01 |          02 |     124 | Test Account |
    +----------+-------------+---------+--------------+

    Voucher Table
    +-------------+--------------+---------------+----------+-------------+---------+----------------+-------+--------+
    | Voucherdate | Vouchertype  | Vouchernumber | Maincode | Controlcode | Subcode |  Description   | Debit | Credit |
    +-------------+--------------+---------------+----------+-------------+---------+----------------+-------+--------+
    | 2019-07-13  | BV           |            01 |       01 |          01 |     123 | Entering Test  |   100 |      0 |
    | 2019-07-13  | BV           |            01 |       01 |          02 |     124 | Enterting Test |     0 |    100 |
    +-------------+--------------+---------------+----------+-------------+---------+----------------+-------+--------+

    OpeningBalance Table
    +----------+-------------+---------+--------------+---------------+
    | Maincode | Controlcode | Subcode | Debitbalance | Creditbalance |
    +----------+-------------+---------+--------------+---------------+
    |       01 |          01 |     123 |          100 |             0 |
    |       01 |          02 |     124 |          100 |             0 |
    +----------+-------------+---------+--------------+---------------+

Hoping for following outcome

+--------------+----------+-------------+---------+-------------+------------+-------------+----------------+
| Description  | Maincode | Controlcode | Subcode | Mainbalance | Totaldebit | Totalcredit | Openingbalance |
+--------------+----------+-------------+---------+-------------+------------+-------------+----------------+
| Test Account |       01 |          01 |     123 |         100 |        100 |           0 |            200 |
| Test Account |       01 |          02 |     124 |         100 |          0 |         100 |              0 |
+--------------+----------+-------------+---------+-------------+------------+-------------+----------------+

Simple inner join and a litle math should do the trick

CREATE TABLE Subcode
    (`Maincode` int, `Controlcode` int, `Subcode` int, `Description` varchar(12))
;
    
INSERT INTO Subcode
    (`Maincode`, `Controlcode`, `Subcode`, `Description`)
VALUES
    (01, 01, 123, 'Test Account'),
    (01, 02, 124, 'Test Account')
;

CREATE TABLE Voucher
    (`Voucherdate` Date, `Vouchertype` varchar(2), `Vouchernumber` int, `Maincode` int, `Controlcode` int, `Subcode` int, `Description` varchar(14), `Debit` int, `Credit` int)
;
    
INSERT INTO Voucher
    (`Voucherdate`, `Vouchertype`, `Vouchernumber`, `Maincode`, `Controlcode`, `Subcode`, `Description`, `Debit`, `Credit`)
VALUES
    ('2019-07-13', 'BV', 01, 01, 01, 123, 'Entering Test', 100, 0),
    ('2019-07-13', 'BV', 01, 01, 02, 124, 'Enterting Test', 0, 100)

Hey @nbk thank you for the kind response. But you didn't incorporate the WHERE part of the SELECT statement. — Saad Bashir, Feb 03 '20 at 10:56
I added some critiria for a where, but that your job i only showd how you can reach your desired result. — nbk, Feb 03 '20 at 11:41
