My GL user is testing a program and comparing the results to production results. The check number/transaction numbers are different in test/live. I am thinking this is a data issue or a missing step. I ran a query against the CBTRANS file and all the details match except for the check number. What would the check be different in each system though?

A couple of reasons to look at...
Do you refresh from production often. Based on what you're seeing, I'd say no. If you happen to be refreshing often, see if your database admins are somehow changing the data, in an attempt to apply obfuscation.

If you don't refresh often, or at all, then the differences in check numbers would be due to the users using test to run check producing scenarios, and thus the check numbers would get out of sync very quickly. Even if they are rerunning the same transactions in test, if they are using the AP520 program, you'd most likely get different check numbers.
