# Void a Beverage Alcohol transaction workflow

The following workflow is similar to the previous refund workflow but uses DELETE with the Registration endpoint to completely void the original sales invoice. In this case, the call updates volumetrics, but no record of the original transaction is kept.

**TIP:** Only call the [RegisterShipment](https://rest.avatax.com/swagger/ui/index.html?urls.primaryName=Alcohol%20Shipping%20Verification#/Shipping%20Verification/put_api_v2_companies__companyCode__transactions__transactionCode__shipment_registration) endpoint when an item is returned. Do not call this endpoint for monetary-only refunds, where the customer still has the product.
