Batch Security and A/P Checks (Automatic)

We have recently rolled out batch security for G/L, A/P, and A/R.  Since doing so our A/P personnel are no longer able to post K batches - A/P Checks (Automatic).  When they attempt to do so they get the error 'Batch Not Approved for Posting'.Is there a way to open the permissions to allow the users to be able to post just the K batches but secure the rest?
