$order_id, what does it really do?

Hi, I am making a custom 'quick-post' for my site (you can post an ad in one step) and have not been generating an oid, it is shown on step1.php as a hidden field.

I was wondering, if I am not using any membership packs etc. how important the $order_id was. I have also done a custom mod to remove the 'reference_id' from the post so any order_id would be for backend reference anyways.

Thanks.
