+    The access code instance is looked up via `access_code` (a string
+    like ``APP-1-12345678``).
+
+    `arg` tells what kind of transition to trigger. This will be a
+    transition id like ``'use'`` or ``'init'``, or some transition
+    target like :var:`waeup.sirp.accesscodes.workflow.INITIALIZED`.
+
+    If `toward` is ``False`` (the default) you have to pass a
+    transition id as `arg`, otherwise you must give a transition
+    target.
+
+    :func:`fire_transition` might raise exceptions depending on the
+    reason why the requested transition cannot be performed.
+
+    The following exceptions can occur during processing:
+
+    :exc:`KeyError`:
+      signals not existent access code, batch or site.
+
+    :exc:`ValueError`:
+      signals illegal format of `access_code` string. The regular format is
+      ``APP-N-XXXXXXXX``.
+
+    :exc:`hurry.workflow.interfaces.InvalidTransitionError`:
+      the transition requested cannot be performed because the workflow
+      rules forbid it.
+
+    :exc:`Unauthorized`:
+      the current user is not allowed to perform the requested transition.
