  Verify Draft Status: Make sure that both objects you are trying to compare are indeed drafts. You can check the status of the objects in the relevant transaction.
  Create Drafts: If the objects do not have drafts, you may need to create drafts of the objects before attempting to compare them.
  User Authorizations: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to access and compare the drafts. If not, contact your system administrator to obtain the required permissions.
