I agree with Dale's method as the best solution. This will correctly consume capacity. You can also use the milestone (flow) on the following operation so that the lead time will not be adjusted.

Subject: Re: [MAPICS-L] Capturing machine tear down time

Tom,

We did it by adding a setup operation immediately following the run operation - no run time allocated, just a setup. Since the time was fixed, that handled the scheduling issues just fine. The operator just recorded the additional setup (which was really a tear-down) along with the other work recorded.
