品番

Japanese to English Other Automotive / Cars & Trucks List of parts
品番 appears in a table of automotive parts such as horns, filters, and bulbs. Although it usually means "part number", the 品番 column contains not only "0 320 226 004", "1987302411", etc., which are numeric, but also "BH-RH", "PA-HRMXW", etc., which are all alphabet, as well as combinations of both like "BH-AFC2".
I'm looking for words that cover all these cases. Part ID, perhaps?
I'd really appreciate it if you could help me.
Thank you very much in advance.

Part No.

I have translated similar ones (English into Japanese). English document mentioned them as "Part No.".

There were both numbers and alphabets in the list of "Part No." I translated.
Note from asker:
Just to be sure, you mean "Part No." was used for alphabet and alphanumeric 品番? Your help really appreciated. Thank you very much.

Thank you!
agree Paul Rigby : Part numbers in English are often alphanumeric like this. I would just translate it as "part number".

Item number

"Item number" is more convenient. It will cover the meaning of part, model, article or number.

Product Code/Part Code

As you say, 'part number' would work for numerical codes, but by simply changing that to 'part code' or 'product code' would have the desired effect when the codes include alpha characters.

その会社が部品も完成品も作っているなら、 part No., 部品メーカーなら product No.で良いと思います。
