My request shows a diff Fact table when new Dim columns added to OOB report

Question

Hi,
I am facing this strange problem with the out-of-box BMM metadata mapping and report:
The "Dim_W_GL_ACCOUNT_D" is joined to "Fact_W_GL_OTHER_F" and "Fact_W_GL_BALANCE_F" facts. Both these fact tables have a inner join to "Dim_W_GL_ACCOUNT_D". The change I have made in th BMM is - I added 2 new logical dimensions DimA and DimB and joined these to the above 2 fact tables.
The O-O-Box "GL Account Balance" Report works fine which has 3 logical columns (GL Account Number, Financial Statement Item, GL Account Category) from the "Dim_W_GL_ACCOUNT_D" and 1 Fact column "Closing Amount" which points to the "Fact_W_GL_BALANCE_F"."BALANCE_GLOBAL1_AMT" fact.
When I add 1 logical column each from my 2 new Dims I created, the report output shows the Fact column "Closing Amount" as $0.0. Upon investigating the log, the query shows it is using the "Fact_W_GL_OTHER_F" instead of "Fact_W_GL_BALANCE_F" fact which has the "Closing Amount" column. I am not sure how. When I drop the logical column "GL Account Number" and keep my 2 new logical columns in the request, the "Closing Amount" is shown correctly. I also saw there is a Dim Hierarchy for "GL Accounts" --- the "GL Account Number" is on a lower level than the "Financial Statement Item" and "GL Account Category" columns from the same logical dimension table which are 1 level higher.
How do I make the request pull data at the "GL Account Number" level and still have the query fetch data from "Fact_W_GL_BALANCE_F"."BALANCE_GLOBAL1_AMT" (Closing Amount) with my 2 new logical columns included?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks a bunch.
