Details
In CR2, you can define Offset Days for Periodic Billing &endash; Billing Terms, which can be defined against Charge Start Date / Charge End date for an order for generating invoices. The Offset days defined for a billing term will be considered for calculating Invoice Date, while generating Invoices for a periodic billing order.
You can define Offset days against Charge Start Date and Charge End Date in the Billing Term definition dialog , as shown in Figure 1.0 and 1.1 respectively.

On tagging a Billing Term definition having Offset days defined with Charge At set as Begin, the Invoice date will be calculated as Charge Start Date + Offset days defined.
