Receive Services (service value related) refers to creating a Goods Receipt Note (GRN) when Services are delivered. A minimum of one GRN must be created for each Purchase Order Line that is delivered. Goods are dealt with separately, under Receive Goods.
GRNs are created in response to a delivery of Services. Their purpose can be summarised as follows:

The delivery is matched to the Order and then against the AP Transaction.
An AP Transaction is entered into the Accounts Payable system and matched against GRNs and Order Lines. This completes the cycle of Order - Receive Services - GRN - Invoice.
Receive Services is the first step in the business cycle when services are being delivered.
What controls are established will be dependent upon how they have been set up for your Company but all GRNs require at least an Order Reference and a valid Order Line.
Entries in many fields may be predetermined by entries in the order line.
