Payment requests created from In-House Cash - error with PAYEXT IDOC

Question

Hello -
I am getting getting a '51' error with my inboud PAYEXT IDOC and the payment request cannot be created and the IDOC error is : Error creating the payment requests - no valid payment method available.  
I have checked the Route process config in IHC and it looks good (or I think so).  I then checked the IHC config: Set Up of payment request for inbound IDOC in FI and am wondering about the Processing Parameters set up.  In this config, I see 2 payment methods field (Payment Method for This Payment) and (List of the Payment Methods to be Considered).   Can somebody tell me what's the difference between these two fields and since my payment method is not in the List of PM to be considered, could that be causing my erorr?
Any guidance would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks
Becky

Hi Odaiah
I am in ECC 5.0 and when I view IMG activity IHC_VC_INB_CUST, there's a field called:
Payment Method for This Payment(Payment method used to settle open items)
and another field called List of the Payment Methods to be Considered.
The invoice was paid via payment method 'W' and in our system, we are using IHC to make payments on behalf.  So after running F110 for payment method 'W', the IDOC gets created and sent to IHC to process.  IHC will then create the payment request (IDOC PAYEXT) which will then get process by F111.  Since the IDOC is failing, the payment request is not getting created.   You mentioned to get an ABAPer to throw in debug, I would love to but does not know the program that this process is running through. I tried putting it in debug from WE02 (IDOC processing) but with no success.
