Hi SAP PI,

. Since,its outside firewall, do PI has to open any port for them to send request ?

Depending your MZ-DMZ infrastructure. If you have in the MZ an apache server or similar that make the connections with PI, this is the point to open the connection. The answer is yes, but you should considerer what is your client infrastructure.

They must provide to you an WSDL and you can use a SOAP receiver to make the connection. However, this is not the better way to do the connection, you could talk with the ABAPers group to consider to use a Server Proxy for this scenario.
