    Hi,

    Technically you can achieve this by creating custom entities. I don't know if I understood the business need but you can also use one entity with two fields :

    - name (account name + space + account reference or other info ), this could be unique.

    - custom field / account name : here you can store the name of the account.

    You can also create another custom field if you need to classify the accounts.

    KR,

    Why don't you just use views to visualize different kind of data? If you split same entity in two, it is going to be difficult later on if you are trying to analyze or visualize data. There should not be two entities that are representing same kind of object in real life.
