Quality Status Auto-Update based on Length of Time

SOLVED

Hello,

I'm hoping someone could guide me in the right direction or tell me if this is possible.

For our Finished Goods, our Quality team would like to create a new status that's essentially a "Provisional Approval but wait 7 days before A status". Basically, our Quality team does their initial quality checks, but some issues, unrelated to the quality analysis, may arise within the 7 days from a product being created. So ideally, they could perform their quality analyses, set the stock into status "Q2A" and then after 7 days the stock would automatically transition to A status allowing it to be allocated and shipped. 

Is this something that can be done from the Recontrol/Expiration status section? Or could this be automated using a workflow?

    The automation can be done by a safe X3 4gl script and executing it through a sage X3 recurring task.

    I didn't understand if you need an extra Q status, or an extra A status to differentiate the products that were really evaluated from those that changed status automatically.

    Nice challenge this one, have a good week.

    I think item status is too rooted in X3 standard, so it would be difficult to manage all the implications  of an additional status.

    I would take an easier way: I would add a flag to a table and schedule a job that transitions items into A status after the desired amount of days.
