In certain embodiments, a user may specify rules and/or defaults for filling out or completing a form. In certain embodiments, a configurable order form is built in a validation tool. In certain embodiments, a configurable order entry system allows automatic updates of components and/or rules. In certain embodiments, the update of components and/or rules is transparent to a user. Certain embodiments include a component list including a plurality of components and a form configuration tool configured to automatically construct an electronic order entry form using selected components.
