you requested vs you have requested

Both "you requested" and "you have requested" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "You requested" is simple past tense and is used when referring to a specific action that was requested in the past. "You have requested" (present perfect tense) refers to making a request that's related to the current moment in time.
