Retrieving Batch Numbers

Question

Hi
Is it possible to retrieve the valid BatchNumbers for an ItemCode via DI - Business Object somehow?
TIA
Philipp

Hi Felipe
Thanks for the hint. I tried to solve it with the BatchNumbers - Object first but I didn't found any retrieving functions.
What I want is to lookup valid batch numbers/quantities for an given article (imho a pretty common usecase).
Imho it would be natural to retrieve the list via Items - Object. But since I didn't found the BatchNumbers Collection there i tried with GenInventoryEntry which has this property:
    Public Function getBatchNumbers(ByVal strItemCode As String) As Long
        Dim oWEntry As SAPbobsCOM.Documents
        Dim oRs As SAPbobsCOM.Recordset
        Dim strIC As String
        Dim i As Long
        Dim ii As Long
        oWEntry = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oInventoryGenEntry)
        oRs = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset)
        oRs.DoQuery("SELECT OIGN.DocEntry  FROM OIGN  INNER JOIN IGN1 ON OIGN.DocEntry = IGN1.DocEntry WHERE IGN1.ItemCode='" & strItemCode & "'")
        oWEntry.Browser.Recordset = oRs
        oWEntry.Browser.MoveFirst()
        Do While oWEntry.Browser.EoF = False
            'SBO_Application.MessageBox(oWEntry.DocEntry.ToString())
            For i = 0 To oWEntry.Lines.Count - 1
                oWEntry.Lines.SetCurrentLine(i)
                strIC = oWEntry.Lines.ItemCode
                If strIC = strItemCode Then
                    For ii = 0 To oWEntry.Lines.BatchNumbers.Count - 1
                        oWEntry.Lines.BatchNumbers.SetCurrentLine(ii)
                        SBO_Application.MessageBox(oWEntry.Lines.BatchNumbers.BatchNumber)
                    Next ii
                End If
            Next i
            oWEntry.Browser.MoveNext()
        Loop
    End Function
I've tested with an ItemCode that has a BatchNumber with Quantities behind it.
But it always displays an Empty - String so I assume this Object doesn't get properly filled or is only for writing - purposes or I'm doing something completely wrong here (I think this approach is pretty cumbersome) 
Can somebody confirm that?
Thanks Philipp
