Efficient and rational pharmaceutical management is essential for ensuring the quality of pharmacy services. However, procurement based on estimation rather than structured analysis carries the risk of resulting in either excess stock or shortages. This study aims to analyze the classification of medications using the ABC–VEN method, based on sales data from Pharmacy X in 2024. A quantitative descriptive design with a retrospective approach was employed, utilizing sales reports from January to December 2024 through a total sampling technique. The results indicate that for non-oral preparations (43 items; IDR 8,742,090), liquid oral preparations (78 items; IDR 24,013,815), and solid oral preparations (163 items; IDR 54,172,572), the "AE" category—representing items classified as both high-value (A) and vital (E)—falls under "Priority I." This category accounts for the highest share of investment value—52.94%, 36.89%, and 49.70%, respectively—making it the primary focus for inventory control to ensure both efficiency and the consistent availability of medications.
