Or alternatively hard code within calculation stage. These calculation stage will then output to a DateTime data item that can be used as the input to your Defer action.

Monday) Does Blue Prism has the function to check the day of the week?

The object expects that you have a maintained calander in System Manager - which should be the case of you want to use the Blue Prism schedular within your organisation. If you are ever finding yourself moving towards generating bespoke code to solve a problem like this I would strongly recommend asking your Blue Prism mentor or enablement manager first to ensure there is not something already provided with the product that solves your problem.
