Generating Offer Letter & Data Transfer in Recruitment Module

Question

Dear Gurus,
1) We are implementing Recruitment module and i am quite new to it. Could any one of you suggest what are the sequence of steps required to maintain to make sure that a Standard offer letter is generated and how to mail it to the applicant while you perform Offer Applicant Contract activity. Kindly suggest how to move further to fulfill this requirement.
Kindly note this is pure Recruitment module and  e recruitment is totally out of scope.
2) How do you transfer applicant data to Personnel Adminstration module when the Applicant action Prepare for Hiring is run.
Kindly suggest the sequence of steps to be followed to make sure the data transfer happens from recruitment to personnel adminstration.
Kindly also let me know what are the mandatory switches that have to be activiated in T77S0 table to set up an integration between PA & RC.
3)When you hire a external applicant whose data is already there in PB10 and when you hire him for suitable vacancy and do the data transfer to PA. The next time when i try searching in the applicant pool will the Applicant group change from External applicant to internal applicant in case of hired applicant. If yes how to go about it.
Kindly throw some light on this. Please note we would like to go about the standard functionalities of SAP Recruitment module.
If there is any challenge in fulfilling the above requirements, kindly point out the same so i can address the same to my client...
Regards,
Kiran

Hi Ravi,
You can do the initial data entry of the applicant through Tcode PB40 or PB10.  Once you have maintained the data, then you can do the applicant actions like given below through Tcode PB40.
Enter additional data
Reject applicant
Put applicant on hold
Process applicant
Offer applicant contract
Applicant rejects offer
Change of org. assignment
Further application
Invite applicant.
It is not compulsory to do all these actions, but these actions are useful to keep a track of applicants.
Then you have to do applicant action prepare for hiring through PB40.  After doing prepare for hiring action you can transfer the applicant data to Personnel administration through Tcode PBA7.  Once the data is transferred personnel number is generated for applicant.  Then you have to complete the activities throug Tcode PBA8.
