This process is completed by the Vendor Maintenance Clerk in the Vendor Maintenance Department. Access to the vendor master is limited.
BP 50 New Vendor Setup & Maintenance This Associate does not have access to enter invoices into the Accounts Payable System. Conversely, the individual that keys invoices into AP
does not have access to the new vendor setup or maintenance screens of the system
Invoices are received by CSCS and coded to the proper accounting codes by the CSCS Controller. They are approved via signature on the
invoice per the CSCS Authorization Policy by the appropriate level within CSCS. Once approved, they are sent weekly to InfoSync for
processing via FEDEX. A tracking sheet is maintained at CSCS by the Controller of all invoices sent for payment. This tracking sheeting is
reviewed and signed each week by the CSCS Chief Financial Officer. The Controller reconciles this list to what is entered in the AP system to
ensure all invoices are processed.

BP 51 Invoice Entry Upon receipt at InfoSync, the invoices are entered or uploaded into the AP system by the AP Processor or Accountant. This individual does not
have access to update the vendor master file. As part of the entry step, this Associate validates that each invoice has the proper signature
authorization per the CSCS authorization policy. Invoices are keyed or uploaded into the Accounts Payable System in batches. Batch totals are
reconciled to ensure accurate input. The paper invoices are then scanned into a document imaging system. The invoice image is assigned to
the keyed entry and available for on-line viewing. Duplicate invoice numbers get flagged by the system for resolution. Hard copies of invoices
are kept for three months and then destroyed. The invoices to be destroyed are kept in a locked container and shredding takes place outside the
building by secure means. No one at CSCS has access to enter invoices into the Accounts Payable system.
Accounts Typically check runs are executed once per week on Fridays. Vendor invoices paid per run are based on vendor terms maintained by InfoSync
Payable Controls in the vendor master and approved by CSCS through the vendor maintenance process. Prior to every check run, a cash requirements report is
/ Processes sent by the Accountant at InfoSync to the CSCS Chief Financial Officer and Controller. This report lists all invoices to be paid in that check run.
All check runs are approved by the CSCS Chief Financial Officer before any checks are cut. If the check run contains any check greater than
$50K, joint approval from the CSCS President & CEO is required. These approvals are provided via email and maintained by the Accountant at
InfoSync.
BP 52 Invoice Payment
Once the proper approval is obtained, the AP Processor or Accountant creates the check file from the invoices to be paid and emails a request
to Vendor Maintenance to print the checks. The Accountant or AP processor cannot generate checks from the system. The check printing
process creates a check register and a positive pay file that is uploaded to the bank. All checks are printed on blank security check stock. A
MICR printer is used to print all AP checks. This printer adds the routing number, bank account, and CSCS authorized signature and all other
necessary check information. Checks are returned to the AP Processor. Prior to mailing, the AP Processor reconciles the check register to the
cash requirements report and actual checks. Any required attachments are matched to the checks prior to mailing.

BP 53 Corporate Expense Card Payment Same process as noted above in Invoice Payments. Original receipts are required for review and approval.

Same process as noted above in Invoice Payments. All expense reports are reimbursed through ACH. Once an Associate Business Expense
BP 54 Expense Report Payment Report is processed and paid, an email is generated by InfoSync notifying the Associate of the date and amount of their deposit. All
reconciliation steps that are completed for paper checks are also completed for Associate Business Expense report reimbursement.
The only sourcing fees collected through the invoicing process are dry mix sourcing fees collected by non-USF and McLane distributors. The
CSCS Controller provides audited amounts to invoice the distribution center to the InfoSync Accountant on a biweekly basis. Invoices are
generated and emailed to the distribution centers each Wednesday copying CSCS. The biweekly invoices include all POs that were delivered to
the distribution centers the previous week. The invoices are automatically added to the aging and an Aging Report is sent to CSCS as part of the
monthly financial package. The invoicing process creates journal entries that update the appropriate revenue and accounts receivable accounts.
The CSCS Controller maintains a master tracking list of all POs sent for invoicing. This list is reconciled on an on-going basis against what is
BP 55 Dry Mix Sourcing Fee Invoices invoiced to ensure all invoices are generated and billed appropriately.

Payments are received from the distribution centers either by check, ACH or wire transfer. If paid by check, checks are received by the
Controller at CSCS and deposited upon receipt. The InfoSync Accountant is notified via email of bank deposits made by CSCS. The
Accountant has view-only access to previous day online bank information. When the deposits post (checks, ACH, wires), the payments are
manually keyed into the accounting system to relieve the Accounts Receivable and update the Aging Report. No one at InfoSync can make any
bank transfers or withdrawals.
