speak with AppleCare Professional Enterprise Support, they may be able to assist. You will need each devices to re-enrol (from invitation to ABM ) and you'll need to sort your pre-stage / policies / re-enrolment etc.
@forrest99 Unfortunately the manual method of adding a Mac to ABM you link to does require a re-image. Your only other option would be to have the selling vendor add the Mac to ABM, and that can be done post-purchase but will depend on the vendor. For Macs purchased through Apple's business channel it's supposedly possible, but if you purchased through the retail channel it is not (or at least it wasn't a few years ago when we had a group expense some retail purchased Mac minis they later wanted added to ABM)
Fortunately, even though we were not ABM at the time, all computers have been purchased direct from Apple through our corporate account. So I am hoping there will be a way for Apple's business channel to add them.
Apple Business Manager will 'import' all our existing computers SN so everything will included. Thanks for all the feedback.

some work to do, you'll need to re-enrol, easy via a policy in Self Service and some comms to the business.
It sounds like you may have been through this process before. Can you elaborate?

you will need to move from enrolled via invitation to enrolled via pre-stage. setup a self service policy with:
profiles renew -type enrolment
need comms for everyone to add the profile and 'update' few clicks and done.. you can make a smart group to track.
get a spare mac, scope and test, test again
@jamf-42 thank you for the additional insights. This helps a lot to know what needs to be done. It is definitely in the realm of doable.

Emphatic bold on the "get a spare mac, scope and test, test again" - with this command you're going to trigger your Jamf Pro enrollment process again for these Mac, and all that comes with it, so if that process does anything you wouldn't want to happen on a previously operational Mac you'll want to find out before your users do.

I have two spare Macs and I will definitely be testing. Thanks for the added emphasis.

what are the complete steps having let's say 50 Users in ABM with applications and migrate those User's with their assigned applications to JAMF Pro?
Thank You..
