INVALID_FIELD The specified field name is invalid.
INVALID_FIELD_FOR_INSERT_UPDATE The specified change to a person account record type cannot be combined with any other field update.

INVALID_MASTER_OR_TRANSLATED_SOLUTION The solution is invalid, for example, you have tried to associate a translated solution to a master solution, but a translated solution in the same languge is already associated with the master solution.
INVALID_NEW_PASSWORD The new password does not conform with the password policies of the organization.

INVALID_QUERY_LOCATOR An invalid queryLocator parameter was specified in a queryMore call.

NO_MASS_MAIL_PERMISSION You do not have the required permission (either Mass Email if sending mass mail or Send Email if sending individual email).
NUMBER_OUTSIDE_VALID_RANGE The number supplied is outside the valid range.
OPERATION_TOO_LARGE The query has returned too many results. Some queries, for example those on objects that use a polymorphic foreign key like Task, if run by a user without the "View All Data" permission, would require sharing rule checking if many records were returned. Such queries return this exception because the operation requires too many resources. To correct, add filters to the query to narrow the scope, or use filters such as date ranges to break the query up into a series of smaller queries.

PASSWORD_LOCKOUT The user has exceeded the allowed number of login attempts. The user must contact his or her administrator to regain login access.
QUERY_TIMEOUT The query has timed out.
QUERY_TOO_COMPLICATED SOQL query is either selecting too many fields or there are too many filter conditions. Try reducing the number of formula fields referenced in the query.

TRIAL_EXPIRED The trial period for the organization has expired. A representative from the organization must contact salesforce.com to re-enable the organization.
UNABLE_TO_LOCK_ROW A deadlock or timeout condition has been detected:
- Deadlocks involve at least two transactions updating overlapping sets of objects. Note that if the transaction involves a summary field, the parent objects are locked, making these transactions especially prone to deadlocks. To debug, check your code for deadlocks and correct. Deadlocks are usually not the result of an issue with Salesforce operations.
- Timeouts occur when a transaction takes too long to complete, for example, replacing a value in a picklist, or changing a custom field definition. These are temporary states. There is no corrective action needed.
- Note that if an object in a batch cannot be locked, the entire batch fails with this error.
UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION The system encountered an internal error. Please report this problem to salesforce.com
UNSUPPORTED_API_VERSION A method call was made that does not exist in the accessed API version, for example, trying to use upsert (new in 8.0) against version 5.0.
