Default Look up part of a number within a serial number and cpy back assoc

I have a spreadsheet with 2 tabs.

First tab is named inventory
In column H the are serial numbers in the following formats
ABBC.1234567
ABBC.1234567_RM
ABBC.1234567_FT
The only part of the serial number that interests me is the middle numbers
(i.e. 1234567)

In column A I have a list of part code

In my second tab called parts
In column E there is a list of the middle numbers found in the first tab
(i.e. 1234567)

In my I would like to look up the number in Column E from sheet parts
(my second tab) that is found somewhere in column H in the middle of the
serial number in sheet inventory, get the associated part code from
column A and copy it back into sheet parts (my second tab) in column L

Sheet inventory
A H
123 ABBC.1234467
456 ABBC.1234547_RM
897 ABBC.1234564_FT

Sheet parts
E L
1234547 456
1234564 897
1234467 123
