You can do it one of two ways:

1. Create an order for PC001
2. Complete the production run and add the produced PC to the inventory
3. From order view screen use "Pack Shipment For Ship Group" and then
Pack items for shipment(this will issue the pc from inventory to
shipment)
4. Set shipment status to shipped to create the invoices

Or W/O producing the PC
1. Create an order for PC001
2. (If needed approve the order). You don't need to produce the PC
3. from order view screen use "New Shipment For Ship Group" and go to
Shipment -> Order Items screen, here even the PC is not available in the
inventory(it is not produced), enter manually the ordered quantity and
issue it. (this will cause negative QOH)
4. Set shipment status to packet and then to shipped to create the
invoices.
5. If you want you can complete the production run and add the produced
PC to the inventory to not have negative QOH

You can tell me if something is not clear.
