In eSettlements, when a Requester receives an e-mail notification with a hyperlink to a list of Invoices that require verification and release for processing, the hyperlink directs the Requester to the Create Invoice / Invoice Entry page and not the Review Invoice / Invoice page.

As a result, the Requester is not able to Release or Deny the Invoice directly from the e-mail hyperlink.
