Hi Praveen,

@future annotaion is used so that a method can be executed assynchronously meaning the method will be exceuted when salesforce has rsources avalibale. That is the method will not be executed immedietly.

thanks,

Hi Praveen,

@future annotation is used to fire a method asynchronously,which means that the method with @future annotation is executed in a different thread. You can refer below article for detailed explanation for @future method and it's use cases.
