Can you please provide your thoughts on this?

When you receive an email from a client, is it acceptable to say:

1. This is received.
2. This has been received.

Also, when you authorize or release a payment and you inform your team that this is done, can you say:

1. This is authorized/ released.
2. This has been authorized/ released.

Are both grammatically correct?
 
If you want to know about "Is" or "Has been", why is your title "Is or had been"?
 
*typo error. (Now Edited) Appreciate it if you could respond.

Your suggestions are unnecessarily complicated. Say "I have received your email".
Of your other two sentences, "This has been authorised/released" works.

Don't put a space on either side of a slash mark.
 
Thanks, but can I still use "is" in both cases?

Can you say "This is received." or "This is released."?
 
Why on earth would you want to say that?

Can you I say "This is received no full stop here" or "This is released no full stop here"?
