CodeIgniter: How to pass $this->db->insert_id() value to Controller in order to be inserted in another table?

I'm trying to insert fields to a table and grab the id (assume that the table's PRIMARY KEY is AUTO INCREMENT). I need that record's auto incremental ID to be inserted in a second table. I can obviously return $this->db->insert_id() but how do I access the value in Controller thereafter?

I tried to define it in a variable and access in the controller but it didn't work.

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined variable: insert_id
Filename: controllers/POS.php
Line Number: 87

Model:

function populate_pos_purchase_table($posPurchase) {
    $this->db->trans_begin();
    $this->db->insert('pos_purchase', $posPurchase);

    if ($this->db->trans_status() === FALSE) {
        $this->db->trans_rollback();
        return false;
    }
    else {
        $this->db->trans_commit();
        $insert_id = $this->db->insert_id();
        return $insert_id;
        return true;
    }
}

Controller:

function update_payment_details() {

$newPayment = array (
    'pos_id' => $insert_id, // Line Number: 87
    'payment_description' => 'Point of Sales',
    'payment_method' => $this->input->post('payment_method'),
    'payment_date' => $this->input->post('payment_date'),
    'paid_amount' => $this->input->post('total'),
    'due_amount' => 0
);

$this->pos_model->populate_new_payment_table($newPayment);  
$this->index();

}

Just save the id from the first insert - then use it in the second?

function update_payment_details() {

$insert_id = populate_pos_purchase_table($posPurchase);

$newPayment = array (
    'pos_id' => $insert_id, // Line Number: 87
    'payment_description' => 'Point of Sales',
    'payment_method' => $this->input->post('payment_method'),
    'payment_date' => $this->input->post('payment_date'),
    'paid_amount' => $this->input->post('total'),
    'due_amount' => 0
);

$this->pos_model->populate_new_payment_table($newPayment);  
$this->index();

}
