VP Reference vs. Response ID

The most common "reference" numbers are the VP Reference number and the Response ID. VendorPanel - a Unimarket Company does not use labels such as "user ID" or "account number" for user-facing information.

  • VP Reference number
     
    • This is the unique ID for the request posted by the buyer.
    • It is available before, during, and after creating a response.
    • It has a VP prefix (e.g., VP484675).
  • Response ID
     
    • This is a unique number generated only after you have completed and submitted your response against a request.
    • It has a VPR prefix (e.g., VPR123456).

Steps to find your Response ID

Follow these steps to locate the Response ID for a submitted response:

  1. Locate the relevant response either under My Responses or on your dashboard.

    - If you are accessing your responses from My Responses, click on All Responses.

    - If you are accessing your responses from your dashboard, click on the You’ve responded link on the far right of the request.

  2. A summary page will be displayed.
  3. Find the heading Your Response. Your Response ID will be next to this heading, in brackets, with a VPR prefix (e.g., Your Response (VPR123456)).

Limits & Notes

  • Your Response ID is only generated after you complete and submit your response.
  • VendorPanel - a Unimarket Company does not label any user-facing metadata as "user or account IDs".
