I'm trying to use the VPP to buy apps for iPads but it says I need to use a different apple id?

We are a small, private school that recently purchased 40 iPad minis to use in the classroom.  We have been using Apple Configurator and iTunes to manage the free apps on the iPads.  Now we would like to purchase some apps and I went through the steps to enroll in the VPP.  I was looking around today and when I tried to sign into the app store through the VPP it said that I couldn't use the same apple ID because it was assciated with iTunes.  Do I need to create another one?  WIll this interfere with the apps we already have?  Or would this id only be used for the VPP and would not affect the free apps and the Apple Configurator operation?  Thank you! 

You can not login into iTunes or the App Store using VPP credentials. You must purchase all apps/book/etc.  from the VPP website. Then you can redeem the codes thru itunes/app store or import the codes thru apple configurator. Here is the url for the VPP website: https://volume.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/login?cc=us
(It will not affect any of the apps you already have but the id can only be used for VPP.)
