I go even further and write Ist erledigt. – I think writing more than neccessary creates ambiguity and requires the person addressed to take some time to think about it. And using other people's time is what's considered rude in Germany.

There is no standard polite reply. The level of formality really depends on your company and with whom you are communicating.
In my company the answers range from
Erledigt.
Gruß, Y
(inhouse communication)
to
Sehr geehrter Herr ...,
ihre Anfrage/ ihr Fall wurde abschließend bearbeitet.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Y
(communication with extern)
Often the subject line of the e-mail is adapted, too:
Re: Anfrage zu Text - erledigt
Regarding your message "habe ich gemacht." is grammatically correct, but "habe ich bearbeitet" or "ist erledigt" sounds more professional.

One key point is still missing: a standard reply does not really exist. The short version (ist) erledigt comes close to that, but only on a very colloquial level.
