I doubted there was a distinction but I wish it would have mentioned RECEIVE ORDER or "electronic delivery" to know for sure. I typically think of a "service order" as a ShopZ order. I went through the process of doing the list anyway since I only had a couple of global zones to do it on and since I normally just receive maintenance manually when I get an email about a new RSU level monthly and only receive recommended maintenance, I ended up clean for both z/OS 2.3 and z/OS 2.4.
