Using a subquery in a case statement in a where clause

I want to select different results (from a temp table) based on what a certain parameter is set to in the query. I want to exclude certain inventory SKUs if a particular warehouse is selected. I am getting this error, unfortunately.

Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 310 Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.

Here is a simplified temp table I am selecting from for example…

InvtID
C-123
C-789
C-20042
12345
56789
35353

declare @siteid VARCHAR(10) = 'CF'

select *
from #temptable
where InvtID in (Case when @siteid='CF' then (
                                                select I.InvtID
                                                from dbo.Inventory I
                                                where I.InvtID not like 'C-%'
                                                union all
                                                select 'C-20042')
                        else (select I.InvtID from dbo.Inventory I) end)

expected result

InvtID
C-20042
12345
56789
35353

Is there a better way to accomplish my task, or is there a way to fix my current attempted solution?

Answer

select *
from #temptable FT
where (@siteid='CF' and (FT.InvtID not like 'C-%' or FT.InvtID='C-20042'))
or @siteid<>'CF'
