Let $S$ be a numerical semigroup and let $\mathbb{Z}_S$ be the (locally finite) poset induced by $S$ on the set of integers $\mathbb{Z}$ defined by $x \leq_S y$ if and only if $y-x\in S$ for all integers $x$ and $y$. In this paper, we investigate the {\it M\"{o}bius function} associated to $\mathbb{Z}_S$ when $S$ is an {\it arithmetic} semigroup.
