Ad-Hoc Billing Group
You have the ability to include WIP from another client that is not part of the billing group on a bill. This is done in the billing wizard on Stage 2 - Billing Amounts. When Add Assignments... or Add Assignments for Client... is selected the chosen client will be added as an Ad-Hoc type in the Group tab of the Parent client.
