How to link 2 Fact tables that share Hierarchy and a key

Hi,

After exploring numerous blogs and discussions (like the one below)

https://community.qlik.com/message/547634#547634

I still couldn't figure out a solution for my issue..

I have a balanced  Hierarchy:

Delivery > Offer >Item

Hierarchy.png

One fact table (Deliveries) is link to the highest level (DeliveryID) and one (Customer Returns) to the lowest (Key_Delivery_Offer_Item).

Facts_Link_to_Dimensions.png

For both I need to sum by the item level which is working fine:

But when I add the customer key, I get a circular reference:

I think Generic Key or concatenation is not a solution because I need all the hiearchy levels for both fact tables.

Any idea how to handle this?

Thanks!
