In the following sum the digits 0 to 9 have all been used, O = Odd, E = Even, zero is even and the top row's digits add to 9. Can you determine each digit?

you have forgotten to give the puzzle. I have formulated the puzzle. I am giving the answer also.

let the numbers be : a b c and d e f and the sum be : 1 g h i. we know the the thousands digit of the sum is 1. Other wise it will not be possible.
1. a+b+c = 9 => there are three combinations possible for a, b and c:
2,3,4 ;; 1, 3, 5 and 0, 2, 7
we hoped that digit 1 is in the sum and not the addends. so two combinations remain.
2. c ≠ 0 and f ≠ 0. as then i = c or f.
let us take combinations of 2,0,7.
so 720 , 270 not right. we cannot have d = 0, as then sum d+g will be 10 at most. Digit 0 is already used. That leaves us: 702, 207. with 207, the d has to be 8 or 9. which cases 1 and 2 will repeat in the sum. In case of 702, the middle digit needs a carry. So f = 8 or 9. In that case, i will be 0 or 1. This is ruled out.
Finally we are left with a b c = 2 3 4, 243, 324, 342, 423, 432.
d =2, gives rise to repetition of 0 or 1. Try the remaining combinations. we get the following.
One answer possible:
4 3 2
6 5 7
