UoM conversion when using BoM doesn't seem to work

Hi All

Excellent software, but something is been bugging me for day now. We have a print shop, so I buy my toner in units at a cost of 3500, so in my item I have setup UoM unit and cost 3500 qty 1. Within the UoM I have setup the below table

unit x1
meter x 1300

ie 1300 m of toner in one cartridge.

So it is my understanding that in BoM if i choose the meter option it should break it down to cost into per meter, but in my case it multiplies.

You are not understanding how it works, it’s right the other way

https://docs.erpnext.com/docs/user/manual/en/selling/articles/Selling-in-different-UOM#step-1-in-the-item-master-under-unit-of-measure-section-you-can-list-all-the-possible-uom-of-an-item-with-its-uom-conversion-factor-update-uom-conversion-factors

The conversion should be read: In 1 Meter are 1,300 Unit.
It’s not: In 1 Unit are 1,300 Meter.
