I would also clear PPOS (sorry been a while as I am retired) to get lateral offset error to center line as well for situational awareness.
That's what we used to do on the airbus before the FM2 standard was introduced on the FMGS. Nowadays it's easier to make a direct to the FA(F/P) with a radial-in (reciprocal of the final app crs), and disarming the subsequent NAV mode. This gives you crosstrack error to the centreline and also a nice green centerline of the ND up to infinity for situational awareness.
