Can i switch a product to become a variant of another product, without losing data?

Question

We have products
with several variants created on our database as
"individual products". We have done several transactions on them as
well (Purchase, Receipt, Transfer, SO, Invoices...etc.)

Is it possible to switch these products into
"Product Variants" and group them together, without losing
the data or at least messing up the previous process?

Example:

Our products look like this at the moment:

Product 1: Speaker123-Color Red (Product_Template_1),
Barcode:10

Product 2: Speaker123-Color
B
