You can still go ahead with the warning. 

In the next step 1b Convert values you can select the correct profit center ID/segment: 

  1. In the Convert Values step.
  2. Go to Edit Value conversion for Profit center ID/Segment ID.
  3. The source value is truncated.
  4. In the target value select the correct profit center/ segment with the long ID.
  5. Confirm the value.

The import will still finish with the warning. However, all values are going to be posted to the correct profit center / segment ID*.
