Please see the screenshot below. My understanding is that a LBS = 16 OZ, so when the FROM unit is LBS, it should be divided 16 to OZ, which is “To unit”.
But why Acumatica shows “LBS Multiply 16 to OZ”, this is very confusing
Solved

+3This is correct and you’re not alone - many folks get hung-up on this topic, because, let’s face it, who enjoyed algebra?
The question that is being answered with this configuration is “how many ounces are there in a pound?” If 1 pound equals 16 ounces, then to convert LBS to OZ, you multiply the number of LBS by 16(e.g. 2 LBS = 32 OZ or 2*16 = 32); conversely, if you want to know how many pounds you have based on your ounces, you divide your OZ by 16 (e.g. 32 OZ = 2 lbs or 32/16 = 2).
Hope that helps.
