Importing invoices in bulk using the xls file template - still posting as draft - Is there a way to skip "mark as sent" and post it directly?

Hello everyone, as the title say, is there a way that when I upload from the template file, it will post automatically? I tried changing the "Invoice Status" from draft to approved but it is still appearing as draft and is making me go to invoices so I can click on the "Mark As Sent" in order for it to post.
