How do I add missing gross pay lines after migrating from desktop version?

QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online are built on two separate platforms, clerk12.

 

Because of this, certain types of data, including payroll transactions, are not automatically transferred over. You can read more details about this here: Learn how features and data transfer from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.

In the meantime, follow the steps in these articles on how to manually add pay types in QBO:

 

 

Let me also share this article for additional guidance after migration: Learn what to do after you move from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.

As a last resort, if you need to access historical data in QB Desktop, you can use the trial version for good.
