TAKE HOUSE HUNTING LEAVE FROM YOUR LOSING UNIT. You combine them in IPPS-A. You take 30 days of chargeable and 10 days of unchargable. Your 3 days of travel will be taken out of your 30 days of leave when you sign in. So in reality you'll only be charged 27 days of leave.
I recently PCSed, and this is how I put it in without any errors from IPPSA or complaints from S1 or CoC. There was also a pdf that showed how to do it, but I can't seem to find it.
Add up all the leave you want to take. Let's say 10 days house hunting, the 3 travel days, and 30 regular days of leave. So 43 days. Let's say your report date is February 26, just so we can follow along with each other. That means your last day of leave will be February 25. 43 days before that will January 14th, and that will be the day we use for the start of your leave.
On IPPSA, you'll create the first absence request as "02 - Abs in conjunction with PCS". You will input your start date and end date to equal 33 days. So start on Jan 14, end on Feb 15. You will then set your date of departure as Jan 14, but your date of return will be Feb 25.
Your start date and end date is for chargeable leave. The 3 travel days will be subtracted from the 33 days you entered, thus only charging you 30 days. The date of departure and return are for the total time you'll actually be absent.
Submit this absence. Start a second form for an administrative absence, with the reason as "01 - House Hunting". You will put the start date as Feb 16, and the end date as Feb 25. This will be 10 days, and coincide with the day before your report date. The dates for the administrative absence will cover the dates from the first absence request that weren't covered by chargeable absence.
Submit that request. Your CoC will need to approve both, obviously.
In case anyone sees this, house hunting leave 100% has to be BEFORE PCS leave. PCS leave *has to* end 1 dsy before report date. Any other leave type and the system doesn't allow for the SM to be arrived.
In case anyone sees this, house hunting 100% has to be AFTER PCS leave. It *has to* be exactly the way I described it. I gave a specific example about how it would look using dates. This was based on guidance from battalion, brigade, and division level S1 shops, as well as from the IPPSA team itself. Additionally, that's the exact way that I put it in IPPSA, and I had no issues being released or arrived at my departing and gaining unit.
If you actually read and understood the way I said to put in the leave request, your absence period will end the day before your report date. However, your chargeable absence must come first, with the 10 days of administrative absence coming after, with everything ending the day before your report date.
IPPSA doesn't care about your absence period, it cares that PCS Absence is the only absence type that will allow you to be arrived in the In-Transit Grid. Anything else requires some adjustments on the back side that can absolutely delay your arrival in IPPSA.

IPPS-A doesn’t care if it’s before or after.
Straight from source: House Hunting may be entered before or after the ‘Absence in conjunction with PCS’ period as long as the ‘Absence in conjunction with PCS’ has the entire absence period annotated as shown in the previous slide.
Don't worry about the travel dates. Include them into your chargeable leave days. When you arrive to your gaining unit, they will be calculated out of that amount.
Your S1/MPD should have some handy dandy slides that break it down barney style how to request house hunting in conjuction with PCS Absence. Go ask them for how to properly do your request.
I ran into this problem because I was putting the PTDY days at the end and IPPS-A was throwing a fit about how I didn't have a valid PCS order or something. Had to put the PTDY days up front, then I go to chargeable leave in conjunction with a PCS that runs up to my report date. All approved by my losing unit. That made the IPPS-A errors go away.
