Yes, you can. But as Leine said, by the second or third time it gets very confusing, so usually you need a scheduling supervisor, or help from the ALPA sked guy to help push it thru. If its a high-dollar one day, and no one senior to you snakes it thru a WhiteSlip - go for it!
That's working the system. Just be prepared to fly it, or to lose it, and then to follow up with the phone call to get paid for when you want.
