I guess, if it helps to have it all separated out, then that isn't really the
issue.  It probably has more to do with how staff interact with it.  IMO, as
status is a status.  I shouldn't have to look in 4 different places to address
an item status.  Maybe the way it is displayed in the item editing could be
changed to checkboxes with a date next to each, and a single update button? 
That would seem a little less clunky.

However, it still makes reporting more complicated - You simply need a status,
and you are having to get information from multiple fields.
