Transfer Item Batches to New Company

Hello-

I think that all of us who work with batches are aware that there's no batch object in the DI API. The lack of this object presents a problem for me, because I need import all of a company's existing batches into Business One. What would you all recommend as the best way to do this? I can think of two ways:

1) Use an SQL query. But, I know that this is frowned upon so I don't want to do it.

2) Use the oInventorGenEntry template and transfer all the batches using the DTW.

If any of you have a better solution, I'd be glad to hear it.
