Put it as a relation in a subquery, or use WITH if using 8.4.

SELECT k_id, order_qty, quantity, delivery_qty,
  quantity - delivery_qty as qty
 FROM (
    SELECT
          t_orders_articles.k_id            AS k_id
         ,t_orders_articles.quantity        AS order_qty
         ,(SELECT sum(quantity) FROM t_deliveries_articles WHERE article_id =
 t_orders_articles.k_id) AS delivery_qty
         , t_orders_articles.quantity 
       FROM t_orders_articles
      ) as t;


Or

WITH t AS (
    SELECT
          t_orders_articles.k_id            AS k_id
         ,t_orders_articles.quantity        AS order_qty
         ,(SELECT sum(quantity) FROM t_deliveries_articles WHERE article_id =
 t_orders_articles.k_id) AS delivery_qty
         , t_orders_articles.quantity 
       FROM t_orders_articles
)
SELECT k_id, order_qty, quantity, delivery_qty,
  quantity - delivery_qty as qty
  FROM t;
