In which scenarios should the Magento module pass the `CorporateID` parameter to AlphaCommerceHub?

The CorporateID request parameter is marked as optional in the «API Integration Guide(Nov 2017)» → «API Reference», so I do not understand when the Magento module should or should not pass it to AlphaCommerceHub:

Parameter Name Type Format Mandatory Description
CorporateID Alpha O Corporate or Group ID assigned by APC
