Possible to do INSERT with some columns from SELECT query and some columns with specific values?

All we need is an easy explanation of the problem, so here it is.

Is it possible to do an one INSERT statement where some values are from a SELECT query and some from specific values?

Trying to do something like this where cust_id, rep_id are from a select query and sku_ordered is a specified value:

    INSERT into ORDERS (cust_id, rep_id, sku_ordered='ABC123') 
     SELECT id, 
            sales_rep 
     from CUSTOMERS 
     where cust_name = 'ABC Corp';
