acf(salesDataFC$residuals)

Error in na.fail.default(as.ts(x)) : missing values in object

Answer 1

here I was missing to check the missing values i.e. NA. hence na.action = na.pass will be used after acf(salesDataFC$residuals). so the command goes like acf(salesDataFC$residuals, na.action = na.pass).
