Monthly variation in sales is caused by two major factors
Seasonality
Selling Days (calendar effects)
Time Series technique statistically removes the effects of these two factors
Time Series technique uses the X-11 procedure for seasonal adjustments
The X-11 procedure was developed by the U.S. Bureau of Census in the  1950’s.  It was brought to A-B in the early 1960’s and has become the standard for reporting sales.
