Where can I update quantity in material master ?

Question

I was working on STO (Stock Tranport Orders) scenarios
Bascially stock tranport orders can be done in three ways
1. Stock Transport via stock transport procedure using 1 step procedure
2. Stock Tranport via stock tranport posting using 2 step procedure
3. Stock Tranport using a STO ( in Tcode me21n, where we select STO)
Now, when I entered MIGO and selected Transfer posting and movement type 301
(Transfer posting from plant to plant) and maintained the material details
It is throwing up a message "Shortfall of stock level"
I went to material master of the respective material for both the plants and updated the base quantity in the sales view ( base quantity field , under the shipping data ( times of day) block)
Yet, it did not fix my problem and I am not sure where else I can maintain <b>quantity in the material master for the material</b>Any inputs into the above will be helful
Thanks for your time

Hi,
If The material has no BOM then it mustbe a ROH material.
What u can do is :\
Goto Transaction MIGO do movement type 101 - goods receipt with purchase order.
If u dont have a purchase order than go with goods receipt with option as "others" and enter the material,Quantity,plant and storage location and post the goods movement.
After that if u check MMBE then the stock will be available.Then go for STO it should be fine.
So material master does not come into picture.
Check the same and come back if u have any doubt.
