And don't forget about the enhancements that were put in but then really not utilized. You don't want to continue those to a new version.

This is such a common "issue" so to say. Unfortunately at a "line by line of code" (in this instance, fields, AL, filters..) it is easy to "get lost" in the total view of the scenario. This is where "best practice" is that the "customizer" has a "Delta change document" which states more or less the following: * Business Case: <Enhancement/Bug Fix/Process Change/...> * OoTB Functionality: <xxx> * Change To Functionality: <xxx> * Change Details: <Fields, permissions, AL, Filters, escalations, guides, bla> Of course, this is "Perfect World", which makes everyone's lives so much easier, especially when upgrading a system :) Now in "Real World" where the "Feet hit the street", you are at the correct starting place, by obtaining the delta. Now your mission is to "field by field", "process by process (workflow)" generate the above mentioned "Change Implementation Specifications"... You didn't mention what "tool" you used to obtain the delta, but I know that the Panacea tools are good at documenting the "Process Actions" for the workflow (decision trees, if-else logic, etc). But again, just because something was "added / changed" does not give the business requirements / business logic about it. I wish you luck in your endeavor!
