You would change the Copying Rules configuration for for example a Purchase Order (PO) item long text like Material PO Text from following settings:

Sequence	Source object	Text Fixed	Fixed indicator
0	Purchase Order	Material PO text	<empty> (Text automatically adopted in target object)
1	Material Master	Purchase Order text	* (User can have text adopted in target object)

to following setup:

Sequence	Source object	Text Fixed	Fixed indicator
0	Purchase Order	Material PO text	* (User can have text adopted in target object)
1	Material Master	Purchase Order text	<empty> (Text automatically adopted in target object)Sequence Source object Source Text Fixed indicator
