New Task and Log Task Information

When viewing transactions or entity records in NetSuite, one will find the New Task and Log Task buttons under Communication tab > Activities subtab.

New Task button is for creating tasks done on a future date or a scheduled one.

Log Task button is for creating tasks for tracking or recording purposes only and is not used for scheduling (no Due Date field).

If a task has already been completed but not yet recorded, Log Task should be used instead of New Task.
