# Attach solutions to AWS Partner Customer Engagement (ACE) opportunities
<a name="attaching-solutions-to-ace-opportunities"></a>

When submitting opportunities through ACE, it strengthens the co-sell journey by granting AWS Sellers insight into where you're engaging with mutual customers through pipeline visibility.

You are required to add a solution to any opportunity. You will not be able to utilize the 'Other' option within the opportunity, rather you must first have a solution created in AWS Partner Central. Within the opportunity, in **Project details** section **AWS Marketplace products and solutions** you will see a list of up to 10 of your active solutions and AWS Marketplace products you can attach to an opportunity (if you have more than 10 active solutions or AWS Marketplace products, you'll have the ability to search for additional solutions or AWS Marketplace products by using the ID or the name of solutions and products).
