Combining inner join and where statements in Eloquent - php

Question

I am trying to convert the following database query to use Eloquent:
$orderitems = DB::table('order_items')
->join('orders', 'orders.id', '=', 'order_items.order_id')
->where('orders.status', 1)
->where('order_items.sku', $sku)
->select('order_items.*')
->get();
I've tried the following:
$orderitems = Item::where('sku', $sku)
->with(['order' => function ($query) {
$query->where('status', 0);
}])
->get();
but it seems to be bringing back more results than it should. I can see from using DB::getQueryLog that the order_items query is not joining with the orders table:
select * from `order_items` where `stock_code` = ? and `order_items`.`deleted_at` is null
Do I need to create a new relationship between orderitems and order and add the additional where into that?
Relationships:
Order hasMany Items
Item hasOne Order

Solution was to use Query Scopes https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/eloquent#query-scopes
In the controller:
$orderitems = Item::stock($sku)->paginate(10);
In the orderitems model:
public function scopeStock($query, $sku)
{
return $query->join('orders', function ($join) {
$join->on('orders.id', '=', 'order_items.order_id');
$join->where('orders.status', '=', 1);
})
->select('order_items.*', 'orders.order_date')
->where('order_items.sku', $sku);
}
