    Hello Prachi,

    We cannot call future methods from any batch class or any other future class because both are asynchronous methods and the exact time of their execution is not known so adding an asynchronous method to an already existing one is not considered best practice. Besides, it is not allowed in Salesforce.

    Hello Prachi,

    Salesforce doesn't allow a future method to be called from another future method or a batch job. Before calling your future method, you should check if a future or batch job is already running. This would be a best practice for any code you ever write that calls a future method. Good news is that it's very easy. Example below:

    if(System.IsBatch() == false && System.isFuture() == false){ 
        // make your future call here 
    }

    Thanks.
