If your experience is anything like mine, you will quickly get over your trepidation and find that a great deal of what you know is DIRECTLY transferable to your new environment. Two suggestions to make it easier for you: 1) Keep a copy of your XA manuals. They are excellent documentation of how a system OUGHT to work. You'll find MAPICS didn't have ALL the functions, but it had a great many and they were by and large exceptionally well implemented and documented. And the books are superior to all others I have run across. 2) Avoid the temptation to say out loud, "well in MAPICS, it works like this......" Just sublimate that part of your sentence and you'll quickly reestablish yourself as an expert in your new system. And yes, some of this was written tongue in cheek, but I do want you to be comfortable - it's not nearly as difficult in practice as the fear made me believe. Good luck!
