In regard to "short of"

We are now around 200 pcs short of the hardware to get this order done.

Does "pcs" mean "pieces"? Or do you actually mean "PCs"? I think the potential for confusion is significant.

Sinbadsunny Yes,by "pcs" I meant "pieces".
In that case I would recommend writing "pieces" in full.
