You can use @ConfigurationProperties as below

Entity Model

public class MY_ENTITY {
    private String prop1;
    private String prop2;
    // setter & getter & toString()
}

Bean Method

@Configuration
public class MyClass {

    @Bean
    @ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "my.entity")
    public MY_ENTITY getContract() {
        return new MY_ENTITY()
                .setProp1("prop1111111")
                .setProp2("prop2222222")
                ;
    }

    @Bean(name = "contract2")
    @ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "my.entity2")
    public MY_ENTITY getContract2() {
        return new MY_ENTITY()
                .setProp1("prop1111.2222")
                .setProp2("prop2222.222")
                ;
    }
}

application.properties

my.entity.prop1=2120180023
my.entity.prop2=CUSTOMER_NAME111

my.entity2.prop1=9994494949
my.entity2.prop2=CUSTOMER_NAME222

SpringBootApplication

@SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication implements CommandLineRunner {

    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("contract2")
    private MY_ENTITY myEntity;

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
    }

    @Override
    public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
        System.out.println(myEntity);
    }
}
