DP90 pricing date missing in DMR item data

Question

Background:  Im implementing sales pricing discounts for sales orders generated from service orders via RRB.  Currently, we create service orders to capture costs then use RRB (DP90/DP95) to create DMR documents to bill customers for the services.  Costs are transferred to DMR as condition types EK01 actual costs.
Issue:  In DP90/DP95, if I leave the pricing date blank..the DMR creates with a blank item pricing date.  The DMR header pricing date is populated with current date.  Since the item pricing date is blank, the system does not find the discount condition records.
F1 help on the DP90/DP95 field says "If you want to use the internal date determination facility in SD, leave the field empty."
If I create the DMR manually in SD, the pricing dates determine correctly...nothing remains blank.  Our SD doc type config uses a "blank" for the pricing determination (current date).
My concern is that end users will forget to enter the pricing date in DP90/DP95 resulting in the customer being overcharged.  Are we missing config somewhere?  As an alternative, is there a way to make the pricing date on DP90/DP95 a required field? Since this only happens from DP90/DP95...Im trying this forum first. 
All help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Make it required field on initial screen of DP90 by screen & transaction variant
T-code SHD0
Put t-code DP90 and click on tab screen variant and maintain below
Screen variant       ZDP90
Program              SAPLVPK_GUI_INTRO
Screen               300
Then click on create button then initial screen will appear then click on expenses or sales price then FILED SCREEN will pop up
Make PRICING DATE as REQUIRED and click on exit & save again save it.
Come back and click on tab TRANSACTION VARIENT
Put Transaction Variant - ZDP90 and click on change icon
put screen variant ZDP90 enter and save
If you want test is then test by clicking TEST (F8)
Now assign this transaction varient in SE93
Put Transaction Code  -  ZDP90 and click on create
Then enter short text and select option 4 i.e TRANSACTION WITH VARIANT
Then enter
Transaction             DP90
Transaction variant     ZDP90
And save
Now instead of DP90 use ZDP90 in this pricing date will appear as required field.
