Mark to post on final approval?

It seems to be an unnecessary step to require approved journals to be marked to post before they can be posted with the batch posting process, since the mark to post process cannot be automated in a batch process.  And simply posting from the Lines page is not really a good option either.  The preferred process is that approved journals could be posted in the nightly batch processing, rather than consuming time and resources during working hours.

Is there a configuration setting so that journals that have been approved are automatically marked to post?

Thanks,
