• Key Concepts: 
  Refinement is a feature of SAP AP-CCM SRM-Catalog Content Management that allows users to narrow down search results by applying filters. This helps users quickly find the exact item they are looking for. Refinement can be applied to any searchable field, such as product name, description, or price.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use refinement, users must first enter a search query into the search bar. Once the results are displayed, users can then apply filters to narrow down the results. For example, if a user is looking for a specific type of product, they can select the appropriate filter from the list of available filters. The results will then be narrowed down to only those items that match the filter criteria.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using refinement, it is important to remember that not all filters are available for all searches. Additionally, some filters may not be applicable to certain types of searches. It is important to read the descriptions of each filter carefully before applying it to ensure that it is relevant to the search query.
