Associating, disassociating and assigning opportunities
Opportunities can be associated or disassociated with Partner Solutions, AWS Products, AWS Marketplace Offers, and AWS Marketplace Offer Sets throughout the opportunity lifecycle.
Associating opportunities with other entities
The associated entities are retrieved from the GetOpportunity method
within the RelatedEntityIdentifiers object. The
RelatedEntityIdentifiers can be updated using
AssociateOpportunity. Note that this field cannot be updated using the
UpdateOpportunity or CreateOpportunity method.
Solutions
Before an engagement with AWS is started using the
StartEngagementFromOpportunityTask action, it is mandatory to associate
at least one and up to ten Partner Solutions. An AWS Referral may or may not contain a
Partner Solution.
To view your existing solutions, use the ListSolutions action.
Partners can create, update, and manage their solutions in the Build
section on AWS Partner Central
AWS products
Up to 20 AWS Products can be associated with an opportunity. To view a list of
available AWS Products, use the list of AWS Products hosted on GitHubAssociateOpportunity action. To replace or
remove a Product, use the DisassociateOpportunity action.
AWS Marketplace offers and offer sets
AWS Marketplace offers
Opportunities can be tied to an AWS Marketplace Private Offer. To view available offers, use the ListEntities from the AWS Marketplace Catalog API. Currently, you can only associate offers from the AWS Marketplace Seller account linked to AWS Partner Central.
For associating a private offer ARN is required. Sample:
arn:aws:aws-marketplace:us-east-1:123123123123:AWSMarketplace/Offer/offer-dtn3example1tg
AWS Marketplace offer sets
Opportunities can also be associated with AWS Marketplace Offer Sets. Offer sets enable the grouping of multiple related marketplace offers together for comprehensive solution packaging. To view available offer sets, use the ListEntities from the AWS Marketplace Catalog API.
For associating an offer set, an ARN is required. Sample:
arn:aws:aws-marketplace:us-east-1:123123123123:AWSMarketplace/OfferSet/offerset-dtn3example1tg
Important: An opportunity can be associated with either one Offer OR one Offer Set, but not both. Only one of these entity types can be associated with an opportunity at a time.
Disassociating opportunities from other entities
Use the DisassociateOpportunity action to unlink the Opportunity from
Solutions, AWS Products, AWS Marketplace Offers and AWS Marketplace Offer Sets. Depending on the state of the Opportunity,
different validation rules apply for unlinking the related objects.
Assigning opportunities
Use AssignOpportunity to change the opportunity's owner. You can set any
of your Partner Central users to be the opportunity owner.
