Comments Now Available for OnCost™ Purchasing in ConstructionOnline

Written by UDA Corporate Newsroom | August 25, 2026

ConstructionOnline™ has expanded communication capabilities with the addition of Comments for OnCost™ Purchasing, bringing contextual collaboration directly Purchase Orders, Bills, Expenses, Receipts, and Payments.

With Comments now available across Purchasing records, project teams can keep cost-related conversations connected to the exact documents, transactions, and financial activity being discussed. This helps ensure that important questions, approvals, clarifications, and follow-up remain organized within ConstructionOnline rather than scattered across emails, messages, or disconnected notes. 

Improving Communication Around Project Costs

Purchasing workflows often require approvals, updates, and follow-up, involving project managers, accounting teams, vendors, subcontractors, and other project stakeholders. Comments give authorized users a direct way to discuss Purchasing activity in context, whether reviewing Purchase Order details, clarifying Bill or Expense information, or following up on Payments.

By keeping those discussions in-line with the relevant documentation, ConstructionOnline helps project teams maintain better visibility into the decisions and details behind construction costs. 

Supporting Complete Financial Documentation

By extending Comments across Purchasing, ConstructionOnline makes it easy for teams to reference related conversations directly in-line with Purchasing activity—reducing confusion, improving accountability, and preserving important context throughout the project lifecycle. 

For construction companies managing complex financial workflows, this added communication layer helps support more organized financial management and more informed decision-making.

Expanding Connected Collaboration Across ConstructionOnline

Comments are now available across many of ConstructionOnline's most widely used project management and financial tools—including Change Orders, Daily Logs, Submittals, To Dos, Invoices, and more—ensuring essential communication stays tied to the work, records, and decisions that matter most.

With Comments now available for Purchase Orders, Bills, Expenses, Receipts, and Payments, ConstructionOnline continues to strengthen the connection between project communication and financial control, giving construction professionals the tools they need to manage costs, coordinate decisions, and maintain clearer financial records from start to finish on every project.
