Yes, you can,
For example, I consider SMAW,
1. Prepare WPS as Position qualified ALL using 1G PQR ( it’s non essential variable as per table QW 253, QW 405.1 & QW 405.3)
2. Use this WPS to qualify your welder as you want to use them on job ( You case 3G uphill)
3. Prepare WPQ record considering QW 353 essential variables.Thanks and Regards

Same question ? still not convinced !
The Answer is YES only as per ASME Sec-9.
What was written in your WPS QW 405 - for the position qualified ? 1G or ALL?
If not, Revise the WPS and mention Position qualified as “ALL” &
Start qualifying your welders as per your positional requirements !
Thanks and Regards

I am a bit confused by the query. I am not sure what you are trying to determine so I will attempt to summarize what I would apply if I was reviewing your WPS/PQR and WPQR.
1) Since the procedure qualification requirements for GTAW in ASME Section IX, Table QW-256, variable QW-405.1 for position is a nonessential variable (when impacts are not required), your 1G PQR will support a WPS written for welding in all positions.
2) Per this section of QW-301.2; “. . . The welder or welding operator who prepares the WPS qualification test coupons meeting the requirements of QW-200 is also qualified within the limits of the performance qualifications, listed in QW-304 for welders . . . He is qualified only within the limits for positions specified in QW303.” The welder who welded the PQR test plate will be qualified per the requirements of Table QW-356, with QW-405.1 being an essential variable. Ultimately leading through QW-303.1 to Table QW-461.9. Per Table QW-461.9 the welder who welded the PQR test plate will only be qualified for welding in the Flat position.
3) Again, citing a portion of QW-301.2, “ . . . The performance qualification test shall be welded in accordance with qualified Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) . . .” Since your WPS is written/qualified for all positions, welders may be tested in any position with qualified positions per Table QW-461.9 depending on tested position(s). So, YES welders may be qualified in the vertical position using this WPS.
Let me know if this not clear or adequate for your purposes.
Enjoy. Code is fun.
