Answer 1

1) Payments are initiated at the corporate SAP System using APP and converted into IDOC
Could you please tell me the steps in converting the app into idoc.
There are standard Idoc used for the same , for APP it would be PAYEXT, You need to use this Idoc type.
You define the EDI payment method and assign the program in FBZP (RFFOEDI1)which would created payment medium.
i believe in the app we will create the proposal and run the payment run, after payment proposal created what are the config steps involved in createing the payment run. for example for checque payment we will maintian variant for cheque printing.
The payment run config is done in FBZP, which would include definf check PM and assigning house bank sub gl etc.
2) PI at Client End receives the input through IDOC for the payments
Pl means? and how the client will recieve this idoc what is the set up has to be made?
PI(Process Integration) middleware which will send bank files from sap to bank and vice versa.
3) Bank PI receives the payment and converts the same RTGS/NEFT format
4) Payment Data is received at the Bank RTGS/ NEFT server for further processing
how the payment data will be recieved by bank what is the process?
This is again via PI or any thoird party tool which will send bank files to sap as Idoc, The idoc message type is FINSTA.
or this in SAP you will have to configure the following:
*House bank with partner profile
*Outbound parameters                      what is meant by outbound paramenters and how to create and where to maintian
*Inbound parameters                          what is meant by inbound paramenters and how to create and where to maintian
The outbound and Inbounmd idoc's are the one which we send(PAYEXT) and rec from bank(FINSTA).  you create partner profile in WE20 and create partner profile once you create you assign outbound and inbound message types in there.
*EDI Compatible payment methods        how to know about the compaitable payment methods
Please goto house bank FI12 and you will see this in there, assign the PM used.
*APP config                                        i know the app config for cheque payment, for this scenairo any additional settings?
It would be pretty much same, you will have to define the PM used and Payment medium and remaining configuration in FBZP.
*Bank details in Vendor :
You will have to maintain the bank details of the vendor in vendor master.
