Can anyone explain in detail about ASYNC Business Rule, Differences between async and after busness rules?

Hi Mounika,

A simple difference between After and Async is

After is synchronous and it executes immediately the operation takes place on the record(s).

Async may be execute immediately if resource is available at the time of operation took place. If resources are not available it executes in order mentioned in Async Business Rule. When Async Business Rule triggers new record creates in Scheduled Job(sys_trigger) table and when the resource becomes free it executes. 

For more detail about Async Business rule you can refer below article:

Thanks.

It is like after only but need to work in background we user async. 

Use to update information on related objects that do not need to be displayed immediately, such as calculating metrics and SLAs.
