  list<opportunity> opplst = new list<opportunity>();
    Map<ID,Account> acctsWithOpps = new Map<ID,Account>([select id,(select id from opportunities) from Account where id IN: Trigger.New]);

Hi Deepak,

According to your error message, you have a required field on opportunity called Discount Percent. It's failing because you're not populating that field in the opportunity in your trigger.

 opplst.add(new opportunity(Name=a.Name + 'opportunity',StageName='Prospecting',CloseDate=System.today().addMonths(1),AccountId=a.Id));

Right here, just make sure that when you create your new opportunity that  you also populate it with the Discount Percent field.

Another option is the make Discount Percent not a required field, which you can do by going to Setup -> Customize -> Opportunities -> Fields, look for the discount percent field and edit the field. There should be a checkbox that reads "Always require a value in this field in order to save a record". Uncheck it, and it will no longer be a required field.
