tsql returning a table from a function or store procedure

You can't access Temporary Tables from within a SQL Function. You will need to use table variables so essentially:

ALTER FUNCTION FnGetCompanyIdWithCategories()
RETURNS  @rtnTable TABLE 
(
    -- columns returned by the function
    ID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL,
    Name nvarchar(255) NOT NULL
)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @TempTable table (id uniqueidentifier, name nvarchar(255)....)

insert into @myTable 
select from your stuff

--This select returns data
insert into @rtnTable
SELECT ID, name FROM @mytable 
return
END

Edit

Based on comments to this question here is my recommendation. You want to join the results of either a procedure or table-valued function in another query. I will show you how you can do it then you pick the one you prefer. I am going to be using sample code from one of my schemas, but you should be able to adapt it. Both are viable solutions first with a stored procedure.

declare @table as table (id int, name nvarchar(50),templateid int,account nvarchar(50))

insert into @table
execute industry_getall

select * 
from @table 
inner join [user] 
    on account=[user].loginname

In this case, you have to declare a temporary table or table variable to store the results of the procedure. Now Let's look at how you would do this if you were using a UDF

select *
from fn_Industry_GetAll()
inner join [user] 
    on account=[user].loginname

As you can see the UDF is a lot more concise easier to read, and probably performs a little bit better since you're not using the secondary temporary table (performance is a complete guess on my part).

If you're going to be reusing your function/procedure in lots of other places, I think the UDF is your best choice. The only catch is you will have to stop using #Temp tables and use table variables. Unless you're indexing your temp table, there should be no issue, and you will be using the tempDb less since table variables are kept in memory.

Use this as a template

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
-- =============================================
-- Author:      <Author,,Name>
-- Create date: <Create Date,,>
-- Description: <Description,,>
-- =============================================
CREATE FUNCTION <Table_Function_Name, sysname, FunctionName> 
(
    -- Add the parameters for the function here
    <@param1, sysname, @p1> <data_type_for_param1, , int>, 
    <@param2, sysname, @p2> <data_type_for_param2, , char>
)
RETURNS 
<@Table_Variable_Name, sysname, @Table_Var> TABLE 
(
    -- Add the column definitions for the TABLE variable here
    <Column_1, sysname, c1> <Data_Type_For_Column1, , int>, 
    <Column_2, sysname, c2> <Data_Type_For_Column2, , int>
)
AS
BEGIN
    -- Fill the table variable with the rows for your result set

    RETURN 
END
GO

That will define your function. Then you would just use it as any other table:

Select * from MyFunction(Param1, Param2, etc.)
