# Typical Beverage Alcohol transaction workflow

A typical beverage alcohol transaction involves creating a transaction and then verifying the shipment. This verification checks whether the shipment is compliant and adjusts volumetrics as necessary. The verification APIs must be called after a sales or return invoice transaction is created.
