It is optional. UCD90xxx devices send and receive a packet error code (PEC) if the PMBus host supports it. No special configuration is needed.

A PEC is a CRC-8 checksum appended after each transaction. It enables devices to detect communication errors and discard corrupted messages. It is always recommended to implement PECs in the host.
