@Ezekiel C2 You could try this option based on your time mode (Working hours)

@Ezekiel C2 I have considered 48 hours reference for repeated interval interms of minutes. Please find the attached modelSorce _arrival.fsm

Tks. The interval time is working but i do not want it to start on day 1 but on days 2 and create an item subsequently 2 days later.

If it's just one arrival at two days and every two days thereafter this process flow alternative approach might be simpler. Just enter days(2) in the delay.
