Following on from: [Ability edit planned & actual volumes. If batch complete & reducing volume, also reduce another action's wastage to account for it](https://community.breww.com/t/ability-edit-planned-actual-volumes-if-batch-complete-reducing-volume-also-reduce-another-actions-wastage-to-account-for-it/5449)

We could catch mistakes early if a sanity check on these volumes could be made. The recipe (if used) has a “Batch size”, so if the batch “Planned vol.” is wildly different from this (when the batch is started / scheduled) …

or if “Batch total” goes over “Planned vol.”, an alert should be raised.

(Obviously, there’s a few steps where batch total could go high - transfer out of brewing system + volume additions)

Something like:  
“This would create a Planned vol. / Batch total of nnnnL. Are you sure?”

Yes, an alert would be a great idea. 👍
