Pit file is needed to be flashed when the partition table of your device is corrupted due to some reason such as a wrong flash of your variant.

When partition table is corrupted or missed from your device, odin will tell you when flashing firmware that there is "no pit partition" or "Re-Partition operation failed", in this case pit file must be flashed along with the stock firmware (or alone) with "re-partition" ticked in odin.
