Note that there are two related notes in that set of corrections and you will need to correct the data maintained before the correction as well.
I went the (safer) SU24 and transport route. If someone notices something missing, then they must report it to me and I fix the source for everyone else.
Another reason is that if an object does not exist in the target system, then you cannot upload with transport recording. But you cannot upload into a non-development system either... so you must transport anyway at some stage.
Cheers,
