Get object from another model for method

I have the following method in a class and I need to pull an item from another model to use in this method. I cant seem to pull the item because I am using current_user to get the other item and the model does not recognize current_user. I am not sure how DRY this is anyway because I have read that the model should not call current_user. Here is the method...

class Upsell
  include Mongoid::Document
  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :charges

...

  def total_fees
    items = []
    items << (current_user.reportapprovals.first.admin_request_report_type).to_i
      if self.multiple_admin == true
       items << self.multiple_admin_amount
      end
end

My error is that 

undefined local variable or method `current_tenant' for #<Upsell:0xc82c9d39>

I am wondering if I should set user in the model but so far that has not worked.

@user = User.find(params[:id])

You need to pass current_user as function parameter

def total_fees_for user
    items = []
    items << (user.reportapprovals.first.admin_request_report_type).to_i
    if self.multiple_admin == true
       items << self.multiple_admin_amount
    end
end
