I have many customers that use Ariba for obtaining purchase order information. It is important to note this depends on the quality of data inside Ariba. For example, we need fields such as Description, PO Number, Line Number, Quantity, SKU, and Unit Price. Normally instead of relying on a notification model of purchases, a business adapter would be scheduled to run against the Ariba data set and collect new POs ever week or so. I hope this helps.

These are good questions touching on the flow of procurement data through an organisation. Here are a few thoughts:
Hope that helps!

Also catalogues may be used to support the software procurement process and improve its related data. Especially in larger companies with a high standardization rate, this would help to buy only SKU's which have been approved beforehand. This would also fall in line with the software lifecylyce where software can only be bought after being checked and approved by SAM/license management (which would include all the properties menetioned by @ChrisG and more).

Hi Alan,
have you gotten any further on this subject? I am facing a similar problem. Do you have an update for me?
Kind regards
