To define a future method, simply annotate it with the future annotation.

global class FutureClass
{
    @future
    public static void myFutureMethod()
    {   
         // Perform some operations
    }
}

Methods with the future annotation must be static methods, and can only return a void type. The specified parameters must be primitive data types, arrays of primitive data types, or collections of primitive data types. Methods with the future annotation cannot take sObjects or objects as arguments.

Methods with the future annotation have the following limits:

• No more than 10 method calls per Apex invocationNote
• The maximum number of future method invocations per a 24-hour period is 250,000 or the number of user licenses in your organization multiplied by 200, whichever is greater. This is an organization-wide limit and is shared with all other asynchronous Apex: batch Apex and scheduled Apex.
