I've just arrived back and the HR bods have said I can claim for 2 of my wifes journeys back to her parents whilst I was OOA. They said they would add 2 warrants to JPA and I could claim then. So basically all I'm after is an idiots guide of how to claim the mileage (she went by car). Now I've had a look at JPA expenses and I cannot find them, so any help would be appreciated. Many thanks dudes.

Umm there aren't any around here, in fact I'm not sure I've ever seen one, where can I find one? Does it list what to claim for in it?
When you log into JPA and you reach the page which has the list of actors on the left hand side of the page, have a look at the right hand side. There are 4 online guides; Desk Manual User Guide, Self Service user Guide, iExpenses user Guide and iSupport User Guide. You should find out what you need to know in there.

JPA is working very slowly at the moment so I can't confirm the procedure but you need to go into your Self Service Employe 'Actor' and select Self Service Journey Claim & select Balances. There should be a CTF (Concessionary Travel Fare) Balance of 2 Warrants; you need to claim one of these warrants and will be allocated a serial number.
Go back into JPA Expenses and create a new expense claim; the type of claim is 'Journey non-warrant Cost' using your serial number as the authority. Then select CTF at MMA CLR and fill in your journey details. Little bit sketchy as can't run through the process at the moment but let me know if you get stuck.

Thank you very much, that is exactely the info I was after. Presumably I claim one round trip journey per warrant, and submit 2 seperate claims, one for each warrant?

Absolutely correct.
Despite your help I managed to balls it up. When I checked my balance it said 4 CTF warrants. Odd I thought but carried on regardless and submitted 2 round trips on 2 warrants, turns out the 4 warrants were for one way trips. Hopefully this won't cause too many problems.

Claimed last week with a little help from our admin guru in the registry. DT_Xtremez_28:
To claim:
Click on: CREATE NEW EXPENSE CLAIM
Then: TYPE OF EXPENSE CLAIM - "NON WARRANT COSTS"
Fill in : AUTHORITY - OOA DET TO ****** (INC SIGNAL/JPA ASSIGNMENT REF IF AVAILABLE)
Click on: MILEAGE EXPENSES
Then click on: EXPENSE TYPE - GYH(O) MMA AT CLR(FAMILY)
You need to enter the details, start/end 4 times (2 x return journeys) with the mileage. Then save & submit.
For me it worked out at 22p per mile and was in the bank in a few days.

Before you do this, you have to go in and claim the Warrant otherwise it doesn't come off your entitlement. The auth is not your OOA det, it is the 7 digit number that you are given once you claim the warrant. HRHM you should still have 4 warrants left as you haven't 'claimed' a CTF warrant.
