Method and apparatus for controlling a provisioning process. A first provisioning entity () issues a provisioning order (). A provisioning controller () checks whether the received provisioning order is complete. If the order is not complete, a second provisioning entity () is selected to provide further provisioning data (PD,PD,PD,PD,PD,PD) so as to complete the incomplete received provisioning order and to send the corresponding provisioning order/s to the corresponding provisioned entity/ies (). The provisioning controller may check a service provisioning template (PT-X), which can comprise identifiers of provisioning entities that can supply certain provisioning data, identifiers of the data that can be obtained from each and sequence information determining the order in which said data may be collected and provided for provisioning a given service. A status register may be used to keep track the processing status of a received provisioning order.
